I wonder if buying the nail file first would make this even easier. Get your subconscious invested in the idea that you're going to need the nail file. Make the consistency principle work for you: in order to be consistent with your past actions, you have to stop biting your nails.
Also, congrats!
Having tools like the nail file helps under good conditions; the hard part is not relapsing when under stress/other triggering conditions.
