COKE...not the drug just the drink

I am admitting today that I have an addiction. To Coca-Cola. I have a serious addiction, which my family and friends can attest to. I can imagine there are people out there worse off than I am, but to me and those closest to me, my situation is very serious. I don't drink coke for breakfast, well just a couple times, but those are different situations. Actually the other day I met a friend at Tim Hortons for breakie and i had a donut and a coke – i do not like coffee and refuse to drink the stuff, so coke was the only alternative. I finished off the coke at lunch time. Thinking I would be fine with my coke fix of the day behind me, and I wouldn't need anymore for the rest of the day...Well before I knew it the evening came and there I was infront of the television, craving this wonderfully, sugary, sweet delight! And i caved! Ran straight to my storage room, pulled out a can and poured it into the all important frosty mug! Oh how that coke tasted sooo good and it was just what I needed to finish the day.

Coke is something I was introduced to long, long ago. Our family's sunday night ritual was to eat pizza and drink coke. One of the only families I know that drink “real” coke on a regular basis. I think it was when I went away to college that I became so dependent on the stuff. Thursday afternoons, second year we (my friend Anna and I) had Coke and Pastry times...and it's a wonder how I gained 20 pounds in those 2 years of my life? LOL Those days helped us get through class! And my living habits I had being away from my parents for the first time gave me this opportunity to buy the stuff ALL THE TIME!

Now you must understand, Coca-cola Classic is expensive stuff – and I have to keep stock. Oh boy! When it's on sale – I stock up!!! GO CRAZY!!! There is no comparison to no name brands (I am convinced those “cola” drinks are really Pepsi) and I refuse to even drink them!

And to prove to the rest of you reading this exactly how crazy I am – Coke in a can is wayyyyyyy better than the stuff in a bottle! I will however drink it either way, but, it is better. And any type, C2, diet, and whatever that new diet kind is – do not compare. They leave that disgusting aftertaste in your mouth, and no matter what people say about them being a bit healthier – I think it's a scam. Just another brand for them to sell.

I have to have at least one can a day...and sometimes whilst my sister is in the other room studying – I sneak another can! Yes that is right! I have snuck a can!! Fooled her good! Although she did almost have me! I covered my tracks quite well...But when the craving comes, who has the self-control to stop it!? I guess that is my biggest weakness. But it's just soooo good.

And I have decided today, well after tonight that is(I know there is a bottle sitting in the fridge at home), I am really going to try to reduce my Coca-Cola intake. Honestly. I really want to stop.
