30 years of nail biting

Advice/Support

Hi, I reeeeally need. help.

I've been biting my nails for almost 30 years and I'm so tired of it. I've managed to quit twice before (once for about a year!), but I always end up starting again.

I don't even realize I'm doing it most of the time. And when I do catch myself, the urge is so strong that I feel like I HAVE to do it.

I'd love to quit for good, but I have a baby so bitter nail polish (i used before) isn't really an option for me.

Has anything else helped you? Any products, fidget toys, supplements, or just random things that made a difference? I'd love to hear what worked for you!
