Set a certain goal that say "by valentine's day I want to have long pretty nails" A concrete date & reminder was perfect for me. I felt proud of myself for quitting!
I don't know, my nail biting addiction is pretty bad. The "sure fire" way to quit that many people have told me about was to just get fake nails. Yeah, no. Once those started to grow out I bit those off completely.

It doesn't hurt to try though!

Yeah that didn't work for me either. I bit mine off as well. The goal thing worked for me (usually doesn't for me, but on a fluke it did)
Either way good luck!!!! You'll be so proud of yourself when you stop

Ohh! Well in that case, there's hope for me yet!

Every person who had suggested the fake nails thing to me had a look of "OMG YOU'RE SCREWED" whenever I had told them that I had bitten the fake nails off.
