So, I'm attempting to stop biting my nails for the second time. I'm, unfortunately, one of those people who can't stop through sheer will power alone, so I'm using some nasty ass nail polish called No Bite It (I guess, it has "Bite It" with one of those "no" rings around it, so I'm assuming that's what it's called.)

Have you ever broken yourself of a bad habit? Are you like me and need some added outside help?

Replace that bad habit with a new better habit.
Or, reward yourself for not doing it.
For example, take something away from yourself that you really enjoy. Then, after a few days of not biting your nails you can have that thing back for a little bit. Keep repeating this.

Or, you could do the opposite and punish yourself every time you do bite your nails. Keep a rubber band around your wrist and snap yourself with it using a decent amount of force every time you bite your nails. Eventually your brain will realize every time you bite your nails you get hurt and it wont want to do it anymore.
