Answer 4

My 10 year old daughter is trying to quit too, She needs work on her teeth and needs to stop sucking before she gets work done. A bandage on the thumb seems to be working for her. Some people put a sock on the arm or hand. Others put something that tastes bad on it.

Distract yourself. Compile a list of your fave songs on your MP3 and listen to that as you fall asleep.

Answer 9

My cousin did it until he was 14 or so.

You need to make a conscious effort to stop. Take steps to thwart the urge like chewing gum or replacing your thumb with something else and putting some type of bitterant on your thumb to stop you from sucking it unconsciously.
