I keep biting my nails. I know it's a disgusting habit but the thing is now it is a habit I can't seem to stop.
Any tips to help stop or stop?

Mindfully substitute biting for something positive -- writing or typing or baking cookies or drawing or whatever works for you. There are nasty-tasting liquids you can apply (like moms do for little kids who suck their thumb). You can get your nails done (or do them yourself) regularly -- first with fake glue-ons and then, as your own nails grow, add flowers or some design on the nails when they are polished. My husband was a nail biter for years, but now keeps them neatly filed and trimmed so there are no edges sticking up that he feels he needs to chew on.
It's a very conscious thing to do, to be always aware of not putting those fingers up to your mouth and biting the nails.
I want you to think of me every time you start to chew on and bite your nails, Okay?
What will I be whispering in your ear?
I sure will. Thanks!
