Soda is already a very addictive substance. My mom was addicted to Dr. Pepper for many years, and her struggle to wean herself off of it was difficult and similar to the efforts of someone quitting cigarettes. But I am not addicted to soda, I am addicted to Candy Crush Soda Saga.
Hopefully acknowledging my Soda Crush addiction will be the first in many steps to beating it. To be honest, I don't even really enjoy playing Soda Crush, but for the past week, I go to sleep thinking about those tiny candies and wake up imagining them matching up by color.
A few days ago I told my friends that I was going to quit, but that still hasn't happened. This love of Soda Crush actually scares me. I sit at home during this winter break playing this terrible game when there is so much more I should be doing. These are my last few days before I go back to college, and instead of working on internship applications and seeing friends who I won't see for many months, I am playing a stupid game on my iPod.
I know that sometimes people quit addictions gradually, so my plan is to play a real quick game after I finish this blog post and then to gradually play less until I quit. I hope it works!
