What can I do to stop sucking my thumb?!


Question: I have been sucking my thumb since I was a toddler, now I'm 19 and really want to stop. But it's hard for me I can't sleep without it, I mean I can but it takes a while for me to actually fall asleep. I am in a relationship and we want to get married but I need my teeth to straighten up by then. I want to be perfect on my wedding day. Any tips or strategies I can try to stop this thumb sucking habit?

I definitely agree about putting nailpolish on that thumb. I sucked on my thumb up until I was 13 and then right before my first sleep over I was able to stop cold turkey. I know how it feels to need to be able to suck your thumb to go to sleep...maybe just try putting your thumb up to your lip or something?

stop acting like a baby

Suck on your partner's boobs. That will improve your relationship AND make you forget about sucking on your thumb. A double win!!

weird. maybe think about all the damage you are doing to your teeth. im assuming you probably have buck teeth do to the sucking........ gooood luck with that.

put nail polish remover on your thumb, you will definately not suck it then.

Think of another thing to do with ALL your fingers

How can you plan on growing up and getting married if you still suck your thumb.

there is a nail polish that tastes bad that is for stopping nail bitting try putting that on before bed time
