As a child I remember trying coffee and thinking that it was the worst tasting thing that I had ever drank. Wow, I was such a naive child. Being a senior in college, I can firmly say that coffee is now one of the best things I have ever drank.
I never thought that I would be the type of person who becomes addicted to coffee. I know that caffeine is an addictive substance, so I was always so against drinking anything that had caffeine in it. That has not lasted very long considering I live off caffeine now that I'm in college.
There have been some recent events that have occurred in my life that helped me to realize that I am fully addicted to caffeine, and not just any caffeine. I'm addicted to coffee, Coffee, COFFEE!!
I once went to Starbucks for the first time in a while. The lady questioned where i had been because she had not seen me for a while. I knew I might of had a problem then.
Not long ago I was on my way to work and stopped to get a donut, which was going to make me late, but I was hungry. I went to Dunkin and the worker questioned why I did not order my usual. I knew I might have a problem then.
The other day I was driving to my internship and I had not had any coffee at all that day. I just felt a little weird, like I was a zombie for the day. Thats when it happened; I drove down the wrong lane in the parking lot. People just stared at me while I tried to awkwardly turn around in a handicap parking spot. It was then that I finally accepted that I was addicted to coffee.
Shortly after that my family went on a small vacation to see family out of town. In the morning my family was giving me a hard time because I was being moody and all that up until I had my morning coffee. My coffee just fixed the day. I knew that because I am addicted to coffee.
I'm not one to discriminate against coffee. Some people have specific places they go for coffee. Examples include: Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, and Panera. I don't care where I get my coffee from, I just need coffee in order to live.
Like Lorelai Gilmore says, "I need caffeine. Whatever form you've got. I haven't had any all day. I'll drink it, shoot it, eat it, snort it, whatever form it's in. Gimme!"
One order of coffee in an I.V for me today. I'll need it to survive my coffee addiction.
