I stopped when I was about eight. I would probably still be sucking my thumb if I had not gotten pinworms twice [ Reply | More ]

I was in first grade - 6 or whatever and my friends really made fun of me one day, I came home crying and never sucked after that day. My thumb is still a little funny shaped from all those years of sucking [ Reply | More ]

I'm the one that sucked until 2nd grade. My parents were constantly "encouraging" me and my sister to stop. Mom would put tube socks on our hands when we went to bed (pulled them off in my sleep), no harsh punishments or anything, but constantly remind . Woke up one morning and just stopped. I was very proud of myself! I still remember telling my dad, "Dad, I didn't suck my thumb last night!!" [ Reply | More ]

I can't stop, till today...and I'm well into my adult years. I can't get braces for it either even though my upper front teeth show when I "close" my mouth. I just accept it now. [ Reply | More ]

I had braces and got some sort of sharp pronged fort installed that pricked my thumb! Barbaric but it was the only thing that worked. [ Reply | More ]
