When my I was little my mom use to put stuff on my thumb and I still did it

I'm 25 and I still do it. I got braces at 17 stopped till I was 21. But stress brought it right back. I don't do like I use to, at home or in my sleep. I still wear my retainers but I'm not ashamed i don't drink or smoke so this is pretty much my only vice. Sucking my thumb wont cause and earth quake and it hasn't scared away men.

I've tried everything! I liked the taste of the nail polish stuff, I broke through the thumb guard thing, it's awful. I'm 11 and can't break the habit. It's honestly so shameful.

I‘m 16 and I am so embarrassed about this habit. I can’t sleep whiteout it and relax at home without it. I‘m getting braces because of it and I really need to break that habit. But I am also somehow glad that I am not The only one who has that habit

I’m 13 and still sucking my thumb. My New Years resolution was to stop sucking my thumb and to stop biting my finger nails and sadly I didn’t succeed. I tried that bad tasting solution that you put on your fingernails and I put it on my thumb too but it didn’t stop me from my bad habits, I’m sure it will help some people but sadly it didn’t help me. Now my New Years resolution for 2019 is to stop my bad habits and I am determined to stop this time. Good luck to anyone else who is trying to stop their bad habits. 🙂

I’m 17 I have braces I had the appliance to help stop, it worked when I got it off I stopped for almost to years suddenly my thumb ended up in my mouth and I’m back at square one

[lailapridie]

I am getting older and I hate it, in public my thumb gets so dry I have to stick it in my mouth wherever I am, shops, schools, hotels, pools! I want it to go and I feel like chewing everything! I want to stop but it is a addiction, I have to sleep like this and it's terrible, my thumb is flat, I sometimes even have to chew my skin, it is a dry thumb and I try everything! I want to stop and it is so challenging to do anything with my fingers

I was founding alot of stuff regarding thumb sucking even at the of 20. I liked it too much, it give a relax and even i doesn't even realise when my thumb is in my mouth, but my family used too hate me for this, they said they get irritated from me when i do it. and even my father even hit me many times, so i thought i should quit this habit and i am the only person who have this habit even at the age of 20. but after reading all the comments it dosen't feel like alone and felling bad for this habit. i want to thanks everyone who shared there story in comment and make me feel to share my story here.

I got a MRSA infection from sucking my thumb after biting a hangnail off and that really shook me to my core. If it wasn’t for that I never would have stopped 😭
