Addiction

It always starts out with just one...just one drink or for my friend Heather...just  a 1.5 liter: just one chip and then you have Lay's taunting you with "Betcha can't just have one!"  That is how it all started for me, just one, then two-next 5 and as of more recently, the number has raised to thirteen.  My addiction has cost me additional time in the mornings...nearly 30 more minutes before I can really start my day.

I am estimating that it took me nearly 2 years to get this far.  I tried to quit using Paul Mitchell's Shampoo and Conditioner about 3 months ago and picked up the Pantene-color protect at one of the ghetto Walgreen's downtown.  I have to admit to feeling a bit 2nd class, but once Pantene and I were home it would only be me and the shower that knew.  I lasted a month.  After getting one of my 5-week color and cuts, I saw it, Paul Mitchell's 2 for $28!  I was hooked, again.  I returned to using my Smoothing Gloss Drops, Super Skinny Relaxing Balm, The Cream, the UV Color Protectant and more recently Paul's newest line, awapuhi.  The awapuhi line has added another 6 products to my morning prep; but I feel whole again, even if I am technically an addict.
