I relapsed

{via}

My addiction started when I was a few months old.

I had flem in my throat that was making it unable for me to breath.

My mother took me to the doctor & he said that some type of coke or carbonated drink would break it up.

Since my mother was extremely against coke, she decided to give me her favorite, Dr. Pepper.

I didn't snort it, or shoot it up, but I did prefer it with ice, & fountain, not canned.

It was a beautiful romance, but as I aged I noticed a little pooch at the bottom of my belly.

I've seen other people cut soft drinks out of their diet & it helped them get rid of theirs so I decided to do the same.

I went through with drawls.

It was terrible, I'd get headaches & craved it so badly.

I sucked it up.

As I started to get more into health & learning about my body & things that are good for it & bad for it I learned a lot about what a little glass of that stuff does to you & how terrible for you it really is!

I vowed to never pick up a glass again, & haven't missed it.

I've had people buy me one & have to push it aside or pretend to drink it.

I've had to straight up say 'no'.

I've had all my friends order them & I've said "just water thanks".

But today, the very woman that started the addiction in the first place put a glass in my hand.

"You don't have to drink it" she said. "I just ordered it & don't want it"

I brought it inside the house & stared at it for awhile & then I took a sip...

within minutes it was completely gone.

I feel terrible, my high didn't last that long, & now my stomach feels like its going to explode.

Just say no kids, just say no.
