I’m betting anyone who ever bit their nails has tried to quit and failed. It’s that strong a bad habit. Having a relapse is a shame, but it’s not the end of the world, or even the end of your quest to stop nail biting. It is just a simple reminder of how hard it is to break free once and for all.
What do you do now that you have chewed your nails and cuticles back to an embarrassing state? Try to realize what triggered the initial reaction that got you started again. Burn that incident in your head and make a written vow to not let a similar situation affect you again. Get your file out and groom your nails. Taking care of your nails is part of the process to restoring your self-esteem and pride. Get back into the practices that got you on the road to recovery. If you have read a book like mine, How to Stop Nail Biting. Use whatever helped you get motivated and stay firm in the first place.
Keep in mind that it is the rare person, if one such exists, that only needed to quit one time before breaking free forever. This is a process; a journey that will have twists and turns and perhaps some relapses. Get back to visualizing your newly grown nails and get to work on getting over the setback to start over again.
