A drug addict does not mind inflicting wounds to himself so that he can have his fix.

My little girl does not mind the wounds she inflicted herself so that she can have her thumbsucking fix.

I was appalled to see that she had been sucking and biting her thumb so hard that there’s actually 2 cuts on the outside of her thumb, and the worse thing is she’s oblivious to this.

She’s a thumbsucker, and her thumb provides her with comfort every time she’s sleepy, bored, hungry, upset so it’s not going to be an easy habbit to change.

I’ll see if I can change her to a pacifier, and offer her the breast every time she needs to comfort herself. Hopefully, the wounds will heal soon. 🙁
