You could buy bitter nail polish, this may help. I think you can find it at CVS or Wal Mart, or online. Good luck.

I have the same problem and I am 25. It is very hard to stop. What you can try doing is putting on a mitten when you go to bed. Tape the mitten on really well...or else tape something on your thumb that will not come off easily. It may take months but you will finally stop.

When you feel the need to put your thumb in your mouth, go to the fridge and get a carrort or broccoli and put that in your mouth instead. It's healthier than your thumb.

if you sleep on your pellow. will first sleep on your side, lets say you sleep on your left side then up your left arm on the pellow and bend it left then on your right arm you make a triangle and rest your hand in a fist and put it by your arm pit. and put your hear faceing left it will not work right a way but if you do this evey night it will reduce the problem and then you will get in the habit of sleepping that way and it will work in time.

they actually have a type of liquid solution that you can get and it is used just for this problem, but usually on a younger person, a kid that has this problem you can get it in a drug store, or ask the pharmacist he will be able to tell you what it is
and it really works too
good luck

try putting tape around it so every time you do it you realize that your sucking tape...ew! try putting purrel or other hand sanitizer on it so when you suck it it makes you wanna gag! also try rewarding your self when you dont suck your thumb, it can be something easy like watching a movie or eating a tiny piece of chocolate.10 points for me?!

Refuse to put your thumb in your mouth or anywhere near your mouth. If all else fails, keep your hands in your pockets.
