I am a life-long nail-biter. I am thinking a habit like nail-biting can be thought of as an addiction in this way.
I have a preference for letting my nails grow normally, and a preference for removing rough/uneven parts of my nails as soon as possible (which I often enact by biting my nails automatically/uncritically/mindlessly).
If you carried a nail clipper or nail file with you at all times, would you use them instead of your teeth?
