I need more coffee. I misread your title as "I have to stop biting my balls."

Perhaps the fact that I watched Jackass: The Movie yesterday and am now scarred for life has something to do with it. :|

i've been biting my nails ever since i was a kid. I can honestly say I've never used a clipper for my nails.. only for my toes (let's hope so!) for at least FIVE years (if not more)

not because of nervousness or anything.. Just got a kick out of it.. little satisfaction involved..

And no, I've had no health-related problems regarding it.

If you want to stop get some of the clear polish that has cayenne pepper mixed in. This will burn your mouth when you attempt to bite your nails.

Use clippers to cut your nails very short, file them smooth. Keep them like that until you get over the habit, will probably take three weeks or so, and you probably will need to trim them every other day or so.

What nervous habit is likely to replace that one? Make sure it's not self destructive, whatever it is.
