"Hi Gil, How are you? I got the book shortly after this email and read it over the next couple of days. I have to say Gil I feel like I know you. I have struggled with my nailbiting habit for my entire life. (I am 40 something now) You hit the nail on the head so many times in the book about this habit. I never really thought about the inspection of my nails until you brought it to my attention. I also have 3 entries in my journal. Great exercise to make you actively think about what you are doing. At any rate I started the therapy on Feb. 15th. My first week was a great success. This second week I have had a little setback (really only affected 2 fingers) but I think I will keep the book handy and keep referring back to it. I find the book therapeutic. You know I have white tips and I love looking at them!!!!!! My only issue right now is I get worried that this adoration of my white tips will blur in my mind as the "inspection" of my nails. What do you think about this? Christine"
