Anyone got any good suggestions to help me stop biting my finger nails. Its been a habbit i have had since i was very little and i cant seem to stop!!! Soon i will have no finger nails left :o and i dont want that to happen. Any ideas? :ph34r:
My Ma used to put some kind of disgusting nail varnish that tasted VILE if you put it in your mouth....
Worked though.
until i hid it :shifty:
Apparently there's a special lotion you can buy in Afganistan - it's pretty expensive so you'd probably have to steal it from a shop - actually if you get caught that'll solve your problem :ph34r:
Found this article about "skin picking and nail biting" which seem to be related - it might help:

wow, thanks UKMan. Thats true yet quite scary to know :o
When I was younger we started to put cortizone cream on mine so they would heal (I bit them until they were practically bloody) It turns out that when you ingest cortizone cream orally it tastes awful and increases blood flow the skin in your mouth and throat. A horrid taste and the sense that my throat was swelling shut was enough to make me quit. :D
ok i got a plan
put your fingers in your ears - so you get earwax on them - if there is no earwax wait for a bit till there is
earwax tastes horrible so therefore you wont bite your nails :)
errrm no :angry: :angry: ;) :lol:Quote:

I use to eat the nails too,
very bad habit especially if ya play guitar.
Took some serious concentration to stop it. :ph34r:
:cool2:
Yeah, I used to bite my nails all the time. My grandmother would smack my hand out of my mouth whenever she saw me biting my nails. :lol:
I tried real hard to quit the bad habit, and I did. :)
