Day 5: Trading one addiction for another



This happened to me when I was first trying to quit drinking soda. Instead, I started drinking caramel lattes, which was much more expensive and much heavier on the caffeine. I really couldn't say which one is the worse addiction. I would have to guess soda since it has more ingredients, but I'm still not convinced I got the best out of that trade.

The hardest time during these thirty days is my first break in which I'm used to getting my first fix of the day, so instead of a white mocha, I've been eating a candy bar. Even though the basis of this experiment was never to shed my addictions, it would be a pleasant side-effect. So, am I just trading for another addiction or am I weening myself off of my true addictions?

I would go with the later since I don't even really like candy that much. It just seems like I'm trying to get a minascule amount of what I used to get from the lattes.

Regardless, I think I'll cut that morning candy bar out.
