Disgusting habit I know and one that sadly, I have gone through life with. Really do want to give up and tried all the stuff that goes on nails but nothing works. Any other tips apart from chopping my hands off. Rachelle x

I've still been biting today. I did nearly stop for 9 months but just recently started again - I think the stress of childminding - lol. I really don't have any nails left and if I keep biting I'll be biting my knuckles. Tried false nails once (when I got married), but was pulling them off the next day. I think I am just a hopeless case.

Hi
I bite my nails to always have from when I was little I hate it my nails look terrible well not that I have any left. Gave up when I got married had lovely nails the day after I bite them again. Sometimes I can go days without biting them then I have a bad name and start again.
Perhaps we should all try to give up and support each other.
What do you all think.

Sadly, even my youngest bites his nails now and I'm forever telling him to get his fingers out of his mouth. Tried all that stuff that goes on nails and yep, you get used to it. Did ask my partner to sponsor me a fiver a nail - he laughed but I did ask him to think of the benefits for him (how naughty). He still laughed so stubby fingers of the world unite. Don't know whatelse to do?

Well I haven't bitten my nails since Monday and they are actually starting to grow and my 8 year daughter hasn't bitten her's neither. I told her for xmas we would go to a nail place and have them done if we stop bitting them. Mine will grow but they are so weak been bitting them for far too long, but hoping this time I can stop.

Well done Lorraine on the non-biting - and your daughter. That is an incentive in itself if you and your daughter can go to a nail salon together. Doubt I'll get my 9 & 5 year old boys there - lol. I'm still biting. I've resigned myself to the fact I always will having been biting for nigh on 40 years. You keep going Lorraine. Rachelle
