"energy boost" news and stories

My friends, I have a serious addiction. I gave up cigarettes almost two years ago. I finally quit chewing that nasty Nicorette gum to get over the cigarettes. I am gently weaning myself off the patch. (It's a long process, but worth it!)

No, no. I am not addicted to nicotine -- anymore, that is. I am addicted to vitamin C.

You know what Emergen-C is, right? It's that somewhat expensive powdered vitamin and mineral super-boost that you add to water (somewhat like Airborne) and drink. The thing is, it's not like I go through true withdrawal symptoms like getting jittery or twitching if I don't have my usual fix of Emergen-C three times a day. It's just that, well, for some reason, I can't stop drinking it. Most people drink it when they are sick, or when they can feel illnes coming on. I drink it everyday. In fact, I don't even "drink" the powder dissolved in the prescribed 8 oz of water. I add a tiny amount of water, stir it up, and shoot it. I am addicted to it, and I have to take it like a shot because it actually does taste pretty horrible. Then again, for a lot of people, this is considered "medicine."

I suppose there are worse things I could be drinking morning, noon, and night, that are far worse than a raspberry flavored fizzy vitamin booster!

What are you addicted to that you eat/drink it at least three times a day?! Come on. Don't make me feel like the only weirdo.
