It’s going on week number two with no pop!  That may not seem like a lot to some but when you are addicted to pop, Diet Coke to be specific, like I was this is a HUGE thing! It was nothing for me to buy a case of pop and go through it in three days!!! That works out to be 8 pops a day! YIKES! 

I stop and wonder at what point I went from enjoying a Diet Coke here and there to having to have one to start my day and then several more through out the day.  It makes me wonder the same thing about drinking when I used to have a drinking problem – how did I go from enjoying a beer here and there to suddenly becoming a weekend alcoholic.  And then the same thing for food (are you seeing the pattern here – one addiction after another), how did it go from needing food to survive to suddenly becoming so addicted to food that’s all I find myself thinking about sometimes! 

So now I sit here typing and I’m wondering what’s ‘missing’ in my life that I turn to things such as alcohol, pop and food to fill that void?  I’ve always been told that anytime you have an addiction and turn to that thing(s) that you are ‘missing’ something in your life, that you are using these things to fill that void.  But I can’t seem to find what I’m missing.  I’m a Chirstian and have a personal relationship with God, I have friends that I enjoy spending time with, I have family, I enjoy my job and working from home, I love my son and spending time with him.  So what is it???????  Maybe one of these days I’ll figure it out!
