I have a friend that was a chronic nail-biter. She used to bite her nails past the quick, until her fingers bled. What worked for her; going to the nail salon and having tips put on. Now her fingernails are too pretty to bite. :)
I know that sounds sort of expensive... But to have gel tips put on at Wal-Mart only costs $35. After that, to have them filled only costs $20. (You'd only have them filled maybe once or twice a month.) Anyway... It's a thought.

I used to chew my cuticles constantly. I even chewed the sides of my fingers and ripped the skin off. It wasn't pretty. What worked for me was making my nails pretty (I hate wearing polish most of the time, so I just filed and buffed them instead) and rubbing polish remover wherever I would be tempted to bite, whether it was my nails or cuticles. The taste is terrible, and will most likely discourage you.
Or, vow to only bite the nails on one hand, then after a few days, say you'll only bite 4 fingers, then 3, then 2, then 1, then none! Chew sugarfree gum instead.
Good luck!
