re: Any recovering nail biters here?

I never bit them where they looked really scary/nubby like some people, but I definitely messed with them any time they grew at all, so they stayed short. My nails are really brittle, so when long, they just bend.

This won't help you since you're likely a male, but painting them kept me from biting.

Now, I get acrylic nails, so it's a non-issue.
