Addiction

Addiction is a serious thing. Much like love, it causes you to do crazy things like run out in the middle of the night seeking to satisfy it's urges. It's been at least 10years since I've had this monkey on my back. So many times I'll find myself waking up, embracing the subtle taste of morning breath as I make my way to the kitchen. Yes, I wake up from my sleep jonesing for you. Damned addiction. My sweet,sweet addiction. Not ready to face the disappointment that comes with defeat, I prepare for my long journey...to the store. See, while some prefer crack,weed,cigarettes,or alcohol,I'm more of a sugar and snacks kinda guy. I've married Little Debbie,had Hostess host our reception, and had a Drake's cake with Pillsbury Doughboy and Lady Linda figurines on top. It was a joyous day. But I can't go on like this. Cheating on my KitKats with Twix. Seeing Oreos and sneak a Hershey's Kiss. Those delicious chocolate kisses...smh. I realized today I have to quit this habit. Why? Because I found myself paying .85c for a candy bar around my way. I know places where I can still get the goods for .50c! The nerve of them charging such inflated prices in the hood! I could understand if I were in Manhattan or if I were purchasing it from a vending machine, but a deli? A little neighborhood corner bodega having the nerve to charge so much for such a short fix? Absurd! I can't support my habit any longer. I need to save money,buy college books, pay for trips, I can't do it! The question is...how?
