125/365 - a confession

my name is Dee-Ann
and I am an addict.

I went cold turkey for 12 LONG days
and even went 1 whole day on my
"I am only going to have a Starbucks on Sundays"
which quickly became I will only have Starbucks on the weekends
but by Tuesday I was OFF the wagon.

Then I justified it by saying that I would only have
one a day
no MATTER what

well I had two today

sure I can give you a litany of explanations to
why I found myself indulging again

but they would just be excuses at the end of the day.

To keep things in perspective
and for me to justify my dependence I will say
that I have only been getting Grande's
it is Non Fat so the only bad thing
is the vanilla syrup & with a registered card
it is not much more than a regular plain old coffee.

yep...just keep coming up with reasons
that I need to have this daily fix.

of course, this post is being written in
my usual tongue/cheek sarcastic tone
and in no way shape or form is this
to make light of addictions,
make comparisons of coffee dependence with that
of a more serious substance or
to be disrespectful to individuals
who are, or have in the past,
fighting or fought this very serious disease.

I am very fortunate (or unfortunate as it pertains to my waist line)
that my addictions or Americano Misto's and dark chocolate.
