I am addicted to COFFEE. Are you addicted to anything?
I have been addicted to Coca-Cola, and sometimes I fall off that wagon.

You?

2. Bah! Do you know when I learned that
food is not an addiction? At least for me?

When I tried to get into Overeaters Anonymous. After a few useless meetings in which everyone said the same thing: "it's so HARD!" I realized:

It doesn't make sense to beat compulsive overeating in the same way as others try to beat alcoholism, drug addiction, etc., because food is necessary. One can't kick it completely.

Anyway, that's my two cents.

Hi, Millie!

9. Long time coffee addict here
I had a stress test yesterday morning and couldn't eat or drink 4 hours before the test. I was really jonesing for that cup of coffee. I can't stop drinking it before a mammogram, either. When I am forced to refrain I get some really wicked withdrawal headaches.

10. Coffee!
Although I don't think I have an addictive personality. Couldn't even get addicted to tobacco.

12. You can do it. I know a couple of really hard-core smokers who did it.
Will you have help in the form of patch or gum?
