Since it is all mental, all's you have to do is WANT to quit. Make a conscious decision to quit. Even when you put your fingernail between your teeth.... STOP. Then rub your fingernail with your other hand. Also, it helps to carry an emory board to smooth out the rough spots.

Wear a bracelet and when you feel like you want to bite you're nails you can just play with the bracelet.

Well hun this is a tricky one:

1) I would suggest first developing ways to make your mind change from biting, idk like when you are thinking about biting nails then try to distract yourself with something very interesting
2)Get a nail polish that not clear and is very bright and very strong odor and apply multiple coats
3)Wear gloves; leather perhaps and not the ones where the fingers are open lol
4) Keep your fingers/hand busy games, try painting other friends finger nails for fun and don't wash off the paint that get stuck on your hands right away to remind that it is not to be bitten
5) Above all take time developing your method of stopping the biting don't go drastic
6) Set a goal and reward yourself when you reach it
7) Get other's to help if necessary

that's what i can say
My brother used bite his nails all the time; all he stopped he still does from time to time

Every time you catch yourself biting think of everything you've touched that day, doorknobs for example, and realize that that nasty stuff is under your nails. It may be disgusting but it works.

Moisturize your hands then dip the the tips of your fingers in nail polish remover once you bite that you will never do it again

Simple.Think of all the things that you touch in the course of a day.Many people have been in contact w/ these items.Fecal matter,samonella,Ecoli and other bacteria are found on TV remotes,cell phones and anything that you touch all day long.Think @ it.
