My Problematic Addiction

Whatever your addiction may be - drugs, alcohol, tobacco, pain medicine, sex, porn, lying, shopping, gambling, hoarding, power (authority), or internet - the experts always say that the first step in overcoming it is acceptance. Admitting you have an addiction is a big first step.

So today, I am admitting I have a huge caffeine addiction. It may not be as bad as the ones I mentioned above, but it is an addiction nonetheless. I'd get throbbing headaches when I miss my usual cup of coffee in the morning. At one point in my life, I had to have at least 3 cups of coffee to get me through the day.

Now I am limiting myself to just 1 cup every other morning, and I just take decaf on other days.

If you're reading this and you are battling an addiction and it is ruining your relationships with people who care most about you, maybe it is high time to take that giant first step.

God bless and good luck.
