I heard the first step to overcoming addiction is to admit it. Well, here I am, my name is Cressida, and I am a coffee and caffeine addict.
It all started with a massive school project that demanded late nights; hence, the need for caffeine. Then Starbucks started their seasonal Peppermint Mocha and that drew me in further. Finals week came and I could not, and would not break free. It's been months of Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha goodness, and on occasion a diet soda; what can I say, I am only human.
Determined to clean my desk and pull out all remnants of the school semester, I took a good look at what crowded my area the most. It was not books or notes, nor index cards or highlighters, it was the Grande cups and soda cans. Yes, now I see my problem. For years, I have tried very hard not to get addicted to coffee - drinking it only when necessary. However, this time, I was exposed to the drug for a much longer period, and now having trouble wanting to shake it off.
I still refuse to become one of those people who need a cup of coffee in the morning in order to function; therefore, I will break this habit! That is, after Starbucks pulls their peppermint line off their menu.

hahaha! wow crissy, you must REALLY love starbucks!
Try attending the Coffee Anonymous meeting in your neighborhood...
Lol. I think your REAL problem is that you need a trash can by your desk. Every New Years I resolve to quit drinking coffee. I always fail. It's not the caffeine - it's an emotional attachment to my hot cup of coffee every morning. Tea won't cut it. I guess I should be a little more sympathetic to my bro who won't quit smoking, eh?
You're right Pepper, it is my emotional attachment to a hot cup of coffee.
BTW, I do have a trash can by my desk - it was full of Starbucks cups. The actual problem was that I was too lazy to clean up.
