How Do I Stop Biting My Nails?
How I Kicked My 20-Year-Long Nail-Biting Habit For Good
5
If your nail-biting habit is anything like mine was, chances are you're going to need a bit of support in order to officially quit once and for all. That said, don't be afraid to speak up and ask for help. Every time my husband would notice me starting to bite my nails, he would immediately bring it to my attention and remind me of what I was doing. Looking back, I can't even begin to describe how invaluable this gentle reminder was since I could then make a conscious effort to stop instead of unconsciously relapsing.
Above all, keep in mind that this process is exactly that: a process. It's also one that will take lots of time and patience. (Remember: skin heals slowly and repairing a nail bed is no quick fix.) So tackle each hurdle as it comes, keep the motivation rolling, and trust me, you will succeed.
