Everything in moderation. That’s what the “experts” will tell you. It doesn’t matter what it is, as long as you do it in moderation, you are OK. It is the inability to take things in moderation that puts you over the edge and it becomes an addiction. All you can think about it getting your next “fix.”
My husband’s addiction is caffeine in the form of Diet Coke. On average, he will drink 80 ounces of the stuff EVERY DAY!! PEOPLE, THAT IS JUST OVER A SIX PACK EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!
I try to do my part. I don’t buy it that often when I grocery to the store. Mainly because occasionally I’d like to have one but when I go to drink one, THEY ARE ALL GONE! If Tim’s the one who goes to the store, it will some how end up in the refrigerator. Or, he’ll have to make a Lowe’s run and when he gets home, he’ll be carrying around a 44 ounce drink.
We’ve discussed the need for him to cut back. He agrees but it never seems to happen. The other day at the doctor, he confessed how much he was drinking. The doctor said, “Well, at least it’s diet.” Umm, thanks doc. Don’t think you could have helped me out a little?!
The other night, Tim and I were talking and he tells me that: “on the way to work the other day I didn’t have any cash on me. I wanted a Diet Coke. I remembered that I had a receipt from Sonic that if I did a survey, I would get a free Diet Coke. I completed the survey just as I arrived at Sonic.”
Me: “And yet you don’t think you have a problem.”
Doing whatever it takes to get your next “fix” – that’s when you can tell you are addicted. I can tell you about Tim’s addiction because I am perfect. I don’t have any addictions. NOW GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY EFFING COFFEE!!
