You’re doing great. What helped me quit when I was a teenager was to always know where my nail clippers were, and have fast access to them. So whenever I had an urge due to an uneven nail edge, I’d just smooth it out with clippers or a nail file. Really made it simple to quit.
What helped me quit was a manicure. Spending $40+ on my nails helped me not want to bite them. By the time the gel chipped off, I broke the habit, so I didn’t go back. I still pick off hangnails and the uneven structure, but having a file next to my desk at all times helps with that. I also have a cheat nail where I mess it up if I need to.
I used to do it, what helped me break it was keeping a rubber band on my wrist and every time id bite, id snap my self with the rubber band, took ~1.5 weeks for me to stop
Biting my nails and the skin around my nails. Currently trying to quit again. On day 6.

That’s how I’ve done it in the past. I keep nail clippers in my pocket all day. Thanks for the tip though.
Awesome! Stay strong, friend!
Keep it up !! Id really like to be able to quit too
It’s tough for sure. I quit once for a year and a half, but some stressful times got me back into biting. You can quit too!

But what if I’m a masochist?
New way to get off in public? Double trouble if you’re into voyeurism as well!
In all seriousness, it’s not a bad idea. I think I will try it.
