What is your Achilles heel? Your kryptonite?
I’m not sure I have a kryptonite.
Achilles heel is definitely sugar. Which sounds pathetic and lame but honestly, of all the things in life I find it the hardest to walk away from.
I used to smoke cigarettes when I was young but only if I was drinking alcohol. Lighting up a smoke when you had a drink in hand was a must. But the next day, don’t come near me with a smoke, ewww, gross.
I really enjoyed having a few drinks back in the day as well, but I could never become dependent on it. When I was young I went out nearly every weekend, to the bar, to a bar somewhere. In college I dragged my roommate Bridgette out nearly every Thursday, Friday AND Saturday.
But when Sunday morning came around, I was never interested in more alcohol.
As far as other substances go, I’ve only tried pot and hash. Pot was never fun for me, hash was but not something I could ever depend on.
That really just leaves sugar. And coffee I suppose. Although somehow I managed to quit my bedtime coffee. I swore for years that it wasn’t affecting my sleep but I think it finally caught up with me. Now I have coffee only in the morning and sometimes in the afternoon.
But sugar, in any form, is my weakness.
If anyone has any tips for breaking this sugar addiction, please please help lol! I’ve tried cold turkey and I’ve tried slowly backing away from it but as soon as it notices me trying to get away it jumps on me.
