I gave up drinking Mountain Dew last December. Why, you wonder. Well, for one thing my specialist advised me too. Another reason was that I drank it like water - which means I drank A LOT! Well, I hadn't listened to my specialist and I continued drinking it. But one day......I decided that I'd give it up just to see if it made a difference.
Well, I was astounded at the difference. Not only in the area that I see a specialist for - but overall, I felt A LOT better! I was shocked at the difference!
In all honesty, I haven't really missed it. Of course, I still drink pop - I now drink a lot of Diet Pepsi. But honestly, I also drink other things as well. Whereas when I drank Mountain Dew, that was all that I would drink.
One of my biggest pet peeves on the planet is when I go to get something to drink and find that we have nothing! Nothing can seem to get me in a worst mood faster than this! (I hate water, by the way!)
Well, I was having a bad day and was in a very bad mood already when I discovered that someone had finished off the ice tea and not made more!
<---- that looked alot like me!
I had bought my son some Mountain Dew this weekend. I seen it in the fridge when I looked in there for tea. I grabbed a can and took it to the desk with me (griping all the while, mind you!!!!) I sat here at the desk and I looked at the Mountain Dew can. Did I want to drink it? What would be possible consequences of my drinking it? Was it worth it? What if I started drinking it all the time again? Oh, the questions that went through my mind as I looked at that can!!!!
Then I had a thought!!!!!!
Is this how an addict feels when they are faced with that opportunity to use? Is this how they feel? Do they look at the poison in front of them and feel as I did?
Honestly, I don't know the answer to that. I do know that my AH isn't like that. He doesn't think before he does something. He's more the type that would have thought, "I"m in a bad mood and here it is. Something to drink!" and he would have grabbed it and drank it and then justified it by saying something like "Well, we didn't have anything else to drink".
But maybe for some people, it is like that. They actually look at it and for whatever reason, they let themselves do it. (maybe like I do more along the lines of smoking cigarettes)? Anyways....
I am in no way trying to make light of alcohol versus Mountain Dew! Nor am I saying that it's the same thing - but I was wondering if they ever have that same thought process, the same feeling, etc.
It was just a thought so I thought I'd share it with you.
