Real quick: 38/M, nail biter my whole life. Nothing has worked, the only thing that remotely has worked is a super gross tasting thing i got off amazon, that gets them growing for about 2-3 weeks, but then i eventually find myself biting again. I'm looking for a solution that is truly going to force my hand, as the gross stuff does work but theres been times my compulsion just kicks in and i say screw it and i bite them.

I'm considering getting fake acrylic nails at a salon. Does anyone male or female have experience with this? How'd it go for you? Do you just say hey i cant stop biting my nails i want fake ones and they do their thing from there? Supposing it does work because physically cannot bite them, long term do I just keep getting them done?
