Have any of you had success with using hard candy when you get cravings?

Not hard candies, but I would suck mints to give my mouth something to do, and also because I don’t like the taste of mint mixed with something else (except chocolate) so it would encourage me to not drink.

Yes, the sugar in the candy can help with cravings. A big part of why you crave alcohol is sugar withdrawal.

I’m partial to a classic British sweets known as wine gums. They don’t contain any alcohol, it was a marketing ploy when they were launched in 1909. I let these serve my cravings for a week or so.

Mentos was my thing. I was always packin’ a roll of these in my coat pocket. Those ads were hilarious as well.
