I bite my NAILS alot. I've been doing this since I was a kid, but I should've stopped when I was a kid, because it followed me to adulthood, I want to stop biting my nails but I don't know how, help, my sis has suggested soaking my fingers in hot sause, because she knows I HATE spicy things, and foods, I've only ate spicy things 6 times in my entire life. Help me please.

Find something to do with your hands to keep them out of your mouth. When I was much younger, I had this problem too. I bought some Silly Putty and kept it handy when I was reading or involved in some other activity where both hands were not needed. Keeping a wad in your hand(s) will have you mashing and fiddling with the putty instead of biting my nails. I usually got two Silly Putty and jammed them together so the mass would be bigger. It worked. You can find the putty in the toy section of most department stores. There are other brands out now that are cheaper than the brand Silly Putty. Good luck!

I think you have to take the decision to stop. I was biting the inside of my mouth and I decided to stop biting the left side and took some weeks and I stopped, now it is the right side that I have to work on. And my secret is I asked God's, help.

That's interesting bluegemini. I thought only kids to this..hihihi I think your sis is correct. Why don't you do that. Also, don't let your fingernails grow too long so you don't have too much to nibble on.hihih..
