day Nine

so on day 6 I bit the ring finger on my left hand, and also the thumb on my left hand. For no other reason than I wasn't doing anything else at that moment. Boredom. day 9 is nothing though. I've gone a month before, and I actually had a free edge! (like hanging over the edge of my finger) but I had acrylics on for the first 3 weeks. so it doesn't really count. I find myself bringing my hand up to my mouth a lot, and sometimes I bite the skin around my nail. I actually WANT to stop this time though. the other times I was like "meh, maybe I should stop.." but I want to have nice, natural nails for my wedding. I'm damned determined. hopefully I'll at least make it to my 10th anniversary. that's an easier goal. it's not to say that I CAN bite after that, but it'll be a good feeling of accomplishment if I make it there. it's in a little over a month, on July 27th. they say it takes a month to break a habit, so maybe by then I won't even have the urge! I have been doing it for AT LEAST 22 years.. it's likely going to take more than a month.
I will have nice nails. I will not bite them.
