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
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.
Biting my nails and the skin around my nails. Currently trying to quit again. On day 6.

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.
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!
