30 Days of Truth: Day 15

Day 15: Something or Someone you can't live without, because you've tried living without it.


Two answers come to mind quickly: Steven & caffeine.


STEVEN tried getting rid of me once. I didn't give up, and I held on and kept praying. I just didn't *want* to live without him. What can I say...I guess I'm in ♥ love ♥


CAFFEINE I've gotten rid of once, and that was when I was in the MTC for 9 weeks. It was not by choice that I gave it up...it was b/c there was not any to consume. I knew that was the case, and when I got my mission call to serve in Chile, I tried giving up cold turkey. Every time I'd try I wouldn't last 3 days until I had a migraine SO. BAD. that I couldn't take it any long...just once sip of Dew & it was G.O.N.E. I was seriously addicted!!! Then, when I got to Chile I drank Coca Cola every now and then...definitely not daily, but enough to quench my thirst. What can I say...I just enjoy an ice cold beverage once in a while. It's not that I HAVE TO have the caffeine. I like Sunquist. I like Sprite on occasion...but that's about it for the non-caffeine beverages. Of the ones w/ caffeine, I really like a variety...Dr. Pepper (especially at Sonic), Mountain Dew (Taco Bell), Coke (at McDonald's), Pepsi, Diet Coke (at Sonic), Cherry Coke (another Sonic favorite...just b/c they put real cherry juice in it!!!), etc. I think I probably AM addicted, but more than that...I really ENJOY the taste. It makes my day when things just haven't gone so good. Ahhhhh....so refreshing!!!!

For me, it isn't so much the caffeine but it is TOTALLY the carbonation...THAT is what I am addicted to...

Caffeine is bad for that reason (addiction). But don't be fooled. all of those drinks (soda, juice, alcohol... which I know you don't consume, but I'm just saying) all have the same amount of calories/sugar. So none of them are good for you. Straight water is what we should be drinking. Of course... I'll take anything but water. That's my problem. Those sugary drinks are just so darned good!

Ooh, know what though? Almost all Sunkist sodas have caffeine in them! I was so surprised to find that out!
