Nice...I may try that. I've been biting my nails and the cuticles around em for as long as I can remember. Its a compulsion I guess. I've seriously considered some kind of psychiatric medication for it as well...I fucking hate it.

I have been a nail biter my whole life. I think it picked it up from family members because they all do it too. In high school I got braces on my teeth and couldn't physically bite them anymore. The day I got them off, over two years later it was like I never stopped biting them. Right back to the way it was. I actually had to get my bottom teeth built back up because they were filed down from it. My dentist hates it. My girlfriend yells at me when I do it. My mom thinks it is cute. I am over it.

Self discipline is only the tip that I can give to you that I know to myself it's effective!
