Addicted

Hello, my name is Flartus, and I am an addict.



I have tried countless times to quit, and I have quit countless times.  More often, I just try to cut back...just save it for the weekends.  Just for special occasions.  But every time, before I know it, I'm back to a daily habit.

I know it's wrong.  I've heard all the horrible medical statistics.  You know that I try to live clean, buying local, whole, chemical-free food.  Still, in spite of all my failed attempts, I desperately try to find a way to just manage my intake, because, still, I'm just not ready to go cold turkey.

I...have a Coke addiction.

  1. I'll be your Coke Anonymous mentor; I just kicked a serious caffeine-free diet coke habit. I'm clean!

  2. First of all get rid of that picture!
    I don't drink soda (much) but this image has me aching for an ice cold one RIGHT NOW!

  3. No matter how clean my diet can be... on my very best day, I still can't give up my coffee creamer. We all have that one thing... and sometimes more than one!

    That photo made my mouth water.

  5. Ha Ha good one! :)
    I was a Pepsi addict all my life until two years ago almost to the date. In fact, I gave up all carbonated drinks.
    Every now and then I want one, buy one, open it up and take a drink, and then dump it down the sink because now it tastes awful.
    I have to admit your pic has me to thinking of getting a Pepsi next time I have to go to town! :)

  6. Diet Pepsi for me, please. Let's get together and drink this broth of Satan. Clean living be damned!

  8. I don't have any trouble with Coke, but, OMGiH, chocolate. I gave up smoking 20 years ago, but I really, truly, don't know if I could give up chocolate.

  9. I couldn't live without Diet Coke. Everyone's allowed to have at least one vice, aren't they?

    Um, I have more than one vice though... :D

  10. I'm with Betty! But make mine diet, please. I simply MUST have the artificial sweetner! The older I get, the more preservatives I need.
