Chewing gum. You have to find ways to keep busy. I used to be a chronic nail bitter or would cover my whole mouth with my long sleeve. Chewing gum helped a lot. But it's also determination to stop and will power.

You could try cognitive behavioral therapy or EMDR therapy if it's becoming a concern.
