Ohhh hun, I have the same exact problem as you. I've been biting my nails ever since I could chew. I don't bite until they bleed though, since I'm terrified of blood. Anyways, what I did was put electrical tape on all of my finger tips [it's black, what you use to cover electric cords that have been frayed/teared]. They got in my way when I tried to type, but I told myself to keep them on. Finally, I was so annoyed with myself, that I literally ripped off the tape. It's pretty weird though, since I haven't bitten my nails in about a week. I've started and stopped. I've even tried dipping them in acetone [which burned like hell], but I still got around to biting. Try to keep your mouth busy too, [I'm chewing gum right now to fight the urge]. Or try to type a short story or poem, maybe? That helps with keeping your hands busy. What I've also tried is painting my nails a bright color, so that when it comes near my mouth, the color stands out and reminds me that I shouldn't bite. It's definitely hard to stop, though. I know where you're coming from.

Rub them in a liquid that you find disgusting in taste. After a while you will get use to not biting them.
