Have bitten my nails literally as long as I can remember and ooooh man my newly grown fingernails are like THROBBING they’re begging to be bitten aaaaaa

I’ve done pretty well tho I’ve lasted like a week. I had to stop because I was chewing up skin all around the nails and bleeding and shit it had gone on too long. I took before shots to motivate myself to keep going.

    Do your best king

    I’ve managed to kick most of the habit (minus my pinky nails) with a combination of bitter polish and keeping a nail file around. The polish didn’t work so great because the flavor rubs off on food and shit… Filing is cool though. Heard it’s better for your nails than clipping? And having a “cheat finger” helps. Still working on how to move on from there though (it’s been, idk? A year?).

      Yeah, same; got a file and cuticle clipper that fit on my keyring so they were always in my pocket. And, I dont think the cuticle clippers are great to use? But they do so much less damage than chompy teeth. Still occasionally fuck up my nails while driving (hard to file nicely there), but my fingers look fine now, so its managable.
