  • Holland-Grand Haven, MI (1888PressRelease) June 25, 2010 - A relatively new addition to the suite of addictions sweeping the nation, Gummy Addiction, also known as gummy dependence, is a disabling addictive disorder characterized by compulsive & uncontrolled consumption of gummy candies. Despite its effects on the gummy user's health, personal relationship, and social standing, gummy users will often claim to "not have a real problem".

    When asked about the seriousness of her condition, Anne had only this to say: "Quite honestly, I don't see the problem. It's not like I'm an alcoholic… Gummies are amazing. Absolutely amazing. It also doesn't help that I am surrounded by enablers. Is that my fault..?" This type of avoidance and blaming are classic symptoms of gummy addiction.

    While there is still a long road to recovery, Anne's outlook is optimistic. "My plan it tone it down a notch by switching from sugar-coated gummies like Sour Patch Kids and Gumdrops to a more traditional gummy, such as gummy bears or Sweedish Fish."

    Some would say that Anne is in denial of her condition. Sadly, most Gummy Addicts go through a process of denying their problem and switching their type of gummy to avoid facing the reality of their addiction. There may have to be more gummy abuse before there is true chance for recovery.
    Symptoms of gummy addiction are as follows:

    • Inability to effectively verbally communicate due to an excess of gummies in the mouth
    • Swerving / erratic automobile moves while driving ("reaching for the bag")
    • Developing a preference for a particular "flavor" of gummy (they're all the same flavor..)
    • Attempting to mask the addiction by consuming gummies regularly rather than periodic bingeing (also referred to as a "daily user" of gummies

    Fortunately, true recovery for Gummy Addiction can be found through 12 step programs and support networks in your community. Check your chamber of commerce for more information.
