question: I just started with an addiction to Downy Unstoppables (laundry freshener) about 2 months ago. I don't know what triggered it. I have to get a "fix" by sniffing the washing machine that has them in it ready for the next load.I also have to inhale through my mouth to get the taste of it. When I wash clothes with it, I have to sniff the freshly washed clothes while they are still wet as they have more of a scent then. I have cancer and I am worried that this could have an adverse affect on me, but I don't know how to stop.
