I saw a friend from high school via Facebook posting that last year he had gone the year without playing any video games, and this last year he had announced he would not be viewing porn for the year, now these would not be my demons to fight, but I know that these have addictive tendencies, and those would be lofty goals for someone who has some of these habits, so inspired by this I thought: "If _____ can go without playing video games, and not watch porn for a year than I can go without Chai tea for the year!" By dang!
So, I am gearing up to stop my chai habit. When you go to a place where they start knowing your order without ordering, asking your name, and making sure "you are ok with the amount of ice" than you are going too much. When you have to put aside money just to go get your fix, you are going to much.
So, because I am writer, a writer to my core, I decided to create a blog, so that I can be accountable, and create a dialogue even just for me so that I can see the progress, the changes, and hopefully the happiness that kicking this will bring. And, in turn, I will probably write about lots more, if I am being honest.
I am really not trying to make light of addicions, by the way, this really is one. It is problem. I worked at a detox for a few years, I loved the people, and I definitely saw the face of addiction, and the harm it can cause. When I worked there on a my break, I would go and get a chai, one day I realized I was short money, and as I scrounging my purse for any change, and I realized what I was doing, and had to laugh at myself a bit, "What am I doing?"
So, here I am now, making a blog out of the weening process.
