Why give up ? its your comfort and I'm sure you do it in private. I have a brother , who is approaching 60 and still sucks his thumb when at home...........He is a Magistrate too !!!!!!!

I am 18 and have sucked my thumb since i was 6 years old and still do, i also have a pillowcase aswell that is named comfort i hate it being washed lol, personally i dont see a problem with it i only do it in the comfort of my own home when i am tierd mainly, but if you do in public etc there is a underlying problem, my motto is at the end of the day it keeps you happy "most important thing ever" and does not harm anyone, so why should you think its wrong i have a loveing boyfriend who does not have a problem with it and nobody else around me seems to, i personally say carry on if it keeps you happy x x

I tell you what....get this picture in your head. You are with your significant other, dead asleep when he/she rolls over and sees you with your thumb in your mouth. Not a pretty picture. I, too, sucked my thumb (up until I was 21 or so); it was my security from all the hectic, dysfunctional activities within my family dynamnics. Why do you still do it? I see nothing wrong with the baby pillow, we all have something we take to bed with us, some just graduate to small things. Talk with a counselor about the thumbsucking, though. It could be you are substituting this for comfort you need from loved ones.

Yes, it is wrong, it seems as you feel unsafe for some reason. Just don't suck your thumb, and put the baby pillow in the garage or some where else you can't get to it as easy.

I still suck my thumb when feeling emotional or upset about something.... I wish I could stop, but I guess I don't want to hard enough.
