Thumbsuking is a symptoms of anxiety. Just try to identify the situations in which you involve in the habit (mostly it may be either anxiety provoking situation or situations of either excitement and boredom) and take conscious efforts not to do it. If you consistently follow the pattern along with other anxiety reducing techniques you will be able to quit the habit.
