when, despite your better judgement, you've been taking that you know is addictive, and you've been doing more and more in recent days, how do you know you've crossed the dreaded ADDICTION line...?
i've proven remarkably resilient to addiction temptation before. i've shaken off proto-addictions numerous times in the past. (both legal and illegal) but this tuff i need; i need it to get me through the day; or at least the workday...
You could say you're addicted to air, and it would be true, but your addiction to air doesn't bother anyone including yourself. The most helpful definition of addiction is when start to sacrifice things, people, and opportunities to maintain your influx. So you're only addicted to alcohol when your family hates you for it, and you're only addicted to coke when you realize you don't have the money for the rent. Of course the line between sacrifice and purchase is drawn in the sand, and often can only be discerned by those on the outside who can give an unbiased contrast of you versus potential-addict-you, to determine how much your habit has skewed your system of values.
But I'm guessing that you're intimating that you're addicted to delicious green tea. I don't think that's going to be much of a problem for anyone.
well, i am actually referring to coffee, since lately, i've begun craving it. not jsut thinking it'd be nice, but really craving. i'm already hooked on the green tea; i have 2-4 cups of that a (work)day. but i don't look upon that with trepidation, because i want to be doing that much tea, for reasons realted to its health benefits, and general elitist Japanophile posturing.
