Today I am particularly juiced up on my favorite drug which is caffeine. I was wondering if I was addicted to it, so I applied my caffeine habits to an alcoholics anonymous questionnaire.
- Have you ever tried to quit drinking for a period of time and started back in a day or two?
Yes. Worst day or two of my life.
- Do you resent people telling you what to do about your drinking or voicing their concern?
Yes. Don’t read this blog and try to tell me to stop caffeine. I will resent you.
- Have you tried to alter your drinking behavior by switching from one form of drink to another?
Ya. Sometimes I stay with people who don’t drink coffee. Then I have to get creative. Very annoying. Even if you don’t drink coffee, support those who do and get a coffee maker.
- Do you ever need a drink to get started in the morning or to stop the shakes?
Uhh… ya.
-Have there been problems connected with your drinking in the past year?
Yup. Heart burn, stained teeth, coffee breathe.
-Has your drinking caused problems within your household or with your significant others?
Only when Cait forgets to pickup coffee at the grocery store.
- Do you ever drink to prepare for a party or get extra drinks while there?
Absolutely. Monster before a party = great time.
- Do you tell yourself you can stop drinking when you want, but continue to get drunk when you don’t mean to?
Weird question… I don’t tell myself I can stop caffeine whenever I want, (I know I can’t) but I think I have gotten drunk on accident.
- Do you miss days at work or school because of your drinking?
Only if I don’t drink caffeine.
- Do you have blackouts when you are drinking?
No! Can that happen?
- Do you ever feel that your life would improve if you did not drink?
Absolutely not.
It said that if you answered yes to 4 or more than you may have a problem… I answered yes to 7… I may have a problem I guess.
