Sucking thumb
Ok, so I'm female and am under 18, from England.
Its only because this is advicenators that I can talk about this in confidence-I can't give up sucking my thumb.
When I don't its like I get cravings similar to smokers that are really bad. Its totally embarrasing so I only do it at home but how do i stop?!

I feel you. I didn't stop sucking on my thumb till after I turned 12yo. I'm 13 now and I stopped by putting a rubber band on y left hand and everytime I suck my thumbI snap the rubber band. It helped, I also put my hands under my pillow and wear nail polish to prevent it. Try these things.

There is actually a type of liquid that you can wear (as nail polish or over) and it is clear. You can go to CVS or any type of Walgreens or Walmart and the main purpose is to stop from nail biting and thumb sucking. I used to wear a similar product to stop my nail biting and it tastes AWFUL. This can definitely help you!

Start putting hot sauce on your thumb and every time you suck it your mouth will be hot . Its hard , I use to suck my thumb and than i got out of it . Instead if sucking your thumb try doing something else everytime you want to.

This isn't really all that embarrassing, I sucked my finger until I was 17.
In order to stop, You have to be willing to stop.
The way I did it was I realized I was getting older and I decided to just go cold turkey. Ween your way off it, I'm not sure how you sleep but I sleep on my stomach so whenever I had an urge I'd put my hand under my pillow. Eventually, It stopped.
Whenever you feel like you are going to put your thumb in your mouth, Take it out. Better yet put some lotion on your hands. This will prevent the thumb sucking.
