Confessions of a coke head.

But first:

Jade: God, what'd I have a stroke in that second picture that I don't remember? No wonder you won't leave Jon for me. Just kidding. I shouldn't have to clarify that, but just to cover all the bases. After all, that is how rumors get started.

Thomas: Haha Zink, busted! Seriously, that does look a lot like Zink. So I have some uh...business...to take care of. Ahem.

(feel free to not read any of this; it's more for me than anyone else)

I've felt really tired, withdrawn, and listless the past week. I think I figured out why though. A part of me is missing. The sugar/coke part. You can't go from drinking 88 ounces of soda EVERY DAY to absolutely none and expect to come out unscathed. Oh well, them's the breaks.

I think I've finally broken my coke addiction after a decade of servitude. I can't stand the stuff anymore. On break a week ago, I got a 44 ounce cup, filled it with Mountain Dew, and waited in line. While in line, I took a sip. It tasted like battery acid (not that I would know). Then two nights ago, I went to Wendy's and my lingering mental addiction ordered a 32 ounce Dr. Pepper. After taking a sip, I drank no more. I put it in the fridge where it remained until today. My mother threw it away. I couldn't bring myself to toss it, although in my defense, that may be because I'm a cheap bastard and didn't want to waste a dollar thirty.

I feel like today is my first day of freedom from it. My mental addiction has finally been broken, and that's the hardest part. Whether my physical withdraw will linger has yet to be seen but I think the worst is behind me. I've gone off coke before but I always came back because of the mental longing. Now that that is dead, I am confident the chains have been cast off.

Started playing DDR again after having not played for a good 3-4 months, the longest absence since I started playing.

This is my first update in a long time, so if this bores you to tears, don't worry. There's always the chance I won't post for another month and a half.
