I used CBT to stop biting my fingernails; when I noticed the urge to bite my nails, I put my hand down and focused on the act of stopping. They became much longer than they've ever been in my conscious lifetime, but then I wanted them to be shorter, and I didn't have a nail file, so I bit them down to size. A nail file is on my shopping list.
I did the same, and I confirm : it works surprisingly well.
Except that I bought a nail cutter before starting, planning in advance is good ! ;)
