I think about you all day. When can I have another taste? I go to bed excited for the next day, everyday. You are my fix. I used to spend over $100 dollars on you a week and now I just spend $4 every other week. When I became pregnant it was so hard to let you go. Until, I read I can have a little of you everyday. I felt like it was my birthday and it was the best news I have ever heard. Now, I am breastfeeding and still cannot consume as much as I want, but this program ends on July 15, a remarkable date. For now, I will continue to savor every drip of this morning cup. MMMM nothing like a home brewed pot of coffee to jump start my day.
I don't know when my addiction began, but I know it runs in my family. My mother consumes 3-5 cups of coffee a day. I used to consume 3-4 cups a day. In high school, I used to go on Dunkin runs with my best friend Laura and the only way I could go without having to hear my mother complain was if I told her I'd bring her one back. I used to be known at all 3 Dunkin Donut locations that were in my reach. Two were by my house and one by my job. It was like I lived in heaven.
Recently, I moved to Norfolk, Virginia and to my surprise THERE WAS NO DUNKIN! I thought "America Runs on Dunkin", but apparently they didn't get the memo out here. It was already hard for me to be away from my family and now I had to deal without my second home. One nightmare after another, but this was not going to stop me and my addiction. Thank God for coffee makers. Now, I have a new best friend, Mr. Coffee. Every morning without fail I set him up with the essentials, turn him on, and he delivers. MY ADDICTION!
