Nail biting - aargh

How do I stop?! I've tried everything (foul-tasting goop, regular manicures, willpower) but as soon as my nails reach a decent length I bite them all off - not down to the quick, but enough that they look uneven and horrid.

I'd consider getting acrylics but the only time I've had them before, they were too long and got in the way of typing, playing the piano etc.

Giving up smoking was easier...

Queen - I bite my nails too. I have no idea. I wish I could stop but hardly notice I am doing it. Have had acrylics before but they look so fake and are very not me.

I'm guilty of it too. Every so often I grow them and they look nice for a day or two then get stressed and bite them all off without thinking.

OPI Nail Envy is the best thing I've found for growing them but I'd also like to know how to keep them.
