It’s been a lifelong habit. Personally, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. In fact, once I do end up successfully stopping, I may start again. I just want to see if I can do it.

So far, it’s been a lot harder than I expected. I sometimes catch myself halfway through biting a nail (of course, I have to finish at that point, lest I leave half a nail hanging off). For the first few days, I wasn’t even sure if I’d be able to do it.

Now, my nails are longer than they’ve been since I was a little kid. Once they get to the point where a normal person would cut them with a nail clipper, I’ll consider myself victorious.
