Jeanway 0 Posted November 24, 2004 (edited) I bit my nails til I was 12. I devised a way to stop it. It worked. I tired the pepper sauce thing on my nails but just kept right on biting right through it. I drooled and slobbered alot but just kept doing it. If anyone has this habit in here and wants to know how I stopped, just ask, I'll tell you. But I want to see if anyone else does this and has tried to stop. Otherwise this thread will just get buried in the forums and disappear forever. I haven't bitten my nails now in 14 years. I devised my own way to stop and it worked. I was BAD too. I used to peel them off in sheets and get infections under the cuticles and nailbeds. I am so glad I was able to figure out a way to stop.

fenriz275 0 Posted November 25, 2004 I don't have all of these bad habits, thank God :unsure: it's just a general list. I do procrastinate a lot though. I also swear, but I don't consider that a bad habit. I consider it character.
