[quote=Anonymous]I am a nail biter AND I bite my cheeks. I have actually never been able to quit completely, but I have gone periods of time without biting, it's just hard to keep it up.  If I *could* keep it up, I think I could kill it.  I know both are awful.

Weeks 1-2: Go buy some bad tasting polish at CVS RIGHT NOW.  That helps me so much. I use that for a couple weeks and get my nails to a state where I can get a manicure.  Stock up on files and get in that habit.

Then you get your walk-of-shame manicure where you take your ragged ass in there and clean up.  This part sucks.

Then, and here's the part I suck at - you have to KEEP IT UP.  I just can't afford biweekly manicures, which I think I *need* to really break my habit.  And clear nail polish don't do it for me.  I need color to motivate.  I still rub the bad tasting stuff on the skin around my cuticles because I bite those too.

As long as I do that, I don't bite. But once I let that go, I slowly start to bite again when something stressful happens.  But I really believe that I could afford to do biweekly manicures for a few months, I'd kick the habit for good.

Now if I could figure something like that for cheek/lip chewing.[/quote]
