Goal # 5 - Quit biting my fingernails


Biting your fingernails is a disgusting habit. It’s unhealthy and a terrible example of oral hygiene. As far as I’m concerned, those are all bonus points for quitting. None of which are the motivation behind me renouncing a 20+ year-old habit.

The truth is my impending fatherhood has left me more anxious than ever before. At the rate I’m going, I will be chewing on my knuckles by the time my daughter reaches grade school. If I don’t stop now, I will be giving away my ‘tell’. My weakness will be exposed. I will be contested by the women in the household and run the risk of being dethroned as the alpha male.

This must not happen. I’m counting on you, No Bite, my bitter tasting nail bite deterrent.

Note: At the time of this posting, I'm 10 days bite free. In the event you see me fall off the wagon, I implore you to contact my sponsor.
