How can I stop chewing my fingers?

Question:

I have been chewing on my fingers ever since i quit chewing my nails 10 years ago, it gets so bad that they bleed and throb. I have to put bandaids sometimes too. Its mostly my thumbs but lately my index fingers too, I know its disgusting and I get so embarrased when people see my hands.
I try to use nail clippers to get the edges off so I wont bite them but I always do. I don't bite my nails at all so anything painted on them wont help me.

Answers:
knock your teeth out. then youll have bloody gums to go with your bloody fingers ! :] wow im such great help ! :]

start biting your nails again, thats alot better than chewing on your actualy fingers.
my sister inlaw has this problem and she is terrible, she makes them bleed also, she has tied just about EVERYTHING but nothing works, she sitll does it.. try putting super glue on the end of your fingers and chew that off maybe, it will give you somthing else to do
