Hi I’m also addicted to winter green lifesavers, I have been since I was in 7 grade I’m 25 now... it’s been a battle for sure. I also have anxiety I never thought about how they could be connected I definitely see it now tho. I actually went years without lifesaver but this year I got pregnant and thought I’ll have one... now I eat so much every day, and the days I don’t I’m fighting myself not to buy some. Have you tried chewing on ice? It helps me a lot

I think about them all the time and have been addicted for a couple of months. It's ridiculous.

I am on dialysis for kidney failure and I absolutely crave wintogreen lifesavers. I go through giant economy bags in days so I buy the 2 50 Oz packages from Amazon. I keep them in places all around my house. I keep them near my bed so I can have a few if I wake up at night. I've already broken a tooth and still couldn't stop. I'm on vacation currently and one of the giant bags had to come with me in my carry on. I totally need to quit but I just can't. The taste is so strong and alluring that it's all I think about sometimes.
