...biting my fingernails, which I had done since I was about 3, some 35 years ago.
I've stopped for about a week now, and have like a millimeter of pale white 'real' nail on each tip, which I can't honestly ever remember having before.
Its really odd having the ends of your fingers feeling different, but I'm really impressed that Ive got into the habit of noticing when I was about to do it, then stopping.
Not quite as hard as giving up smoking, but a long-term engrained habit nonetheless - might treat myself to a manicure in a coulpe of weeks.

I know exactly what you're talking about. I bit my nails from about 3rd grade thru high school. I decided to quit when I got to college, at which point I became fascinated with them growing them out much longer than any man should have.

i bit mine in elementary until my parents took me to a doctor who put some kinda cream on them that tastes like shit so you don't do it anymore.
so out of protest i grew them out long and started filing them into points.
still do.

I stopped somewhere around 9th grade I think... it's a weird feeling! During my tenure on the west coast I let a couple nails grow out... now with those cut it's the same feeling.

still going....
Still feels very weird... clear, smooth white moons on each finger now...
Very hard to resist. Worth it.

miko, any tips? I rip the shit out of my nails constantly, and have become more and more conscious of it lately.
Do you smoke? I think that's my problem. When I'm not having a smoke, I gnaw on my shit. I tried gum, but that didn't help really. It's so ingrained in my subconscious now.
