I have an addiction problem

Those of you who know me well enough, know that I only drink ONE drink. Day and night. I don't touch anything else. And yes, I do carry it with me into restaurants that do not carry this drink, since it has yet to become popular like it is back in Israel.

But my addiction to this drink means that I must carry it with me to my car, so I can drink and drive. I know, I know, it's illegal to drink and drive. But I can't help it. I told you, I'm addicted!

The problem gets worse when you realise I have another personality flaw - I'm lazy. No, lazy doesn't begin to describe me. Lethargic is probably closer in definition. So more often than not, that half finished drink in my car gets tossed to the back seat, or on the floor of the passenger seat.

I try to hide it before I give people rides, because I don't want them to find out I have a drinking problem. I shove the drinks in my trunk.

Well, recently my husband realised that I really have a serious problem. In a 12 step program he forced me to admit I have a problem. He parked the car, and took all the bottles out and took a photo.










I'm uncertain what the next step of my addiction program would entail. But I can tell you I switched to cans. They're easier to hide under the seat.

  • What is it? I looks a little like Orangina, which my wife loves.

    Do you have a, um, "supplier"?

  • Orangina sucks! This is Fanta!!! And yes, I have a supplier. It's my local gas station. But don't tell anyone. Please. I don't want them taking all my supply.

  • There's vodka in there, right?

  • I miss the good old days when you could just throw your empties out the window. This was especially good here in Michigan because there is a 10 cent deposit on all bottles and cans and homeless people would just stand by the side of the road waiting for you to throw your empties at them.


    Now I'm all environmental and stuff.

  • c.rag, funny you should mention Vodka. I needed Vodka yesterday for cooking. Two tablespoons. Had to shop for it in two places because I had no idea where they sell Vodka. I feel like someone should take away my adult card.

    Mike, I'm with you on throwing bottles and cans out the window. They should have never stopped that tradition.

  • All I can hear is that song ... ~~Doncha wanna ... wanna Fanta~~

  • I first fell in love with Fanta in my home country of Deutschland - where I believe it originates. The fizzy orange drink is as GOOD as it gets.

    Back in the states we drink fanta too - it's just not GOOD fanta. Less sugary or something.

    Either way your addiction is totally acceptable.

    Please recycle.

  • I'm addicted to reading your blog in bed with a laptop keeping me warm instead of my wife. She's always curled up with the dog instead. Wassup 'wit 'dat !?

    ps: I was recently re-united with a fellow blogger at the recent xmas party. She and my wife were some sexy dancing fools on the dance floor, as usual.

    pss: you didn't miss much, there was no Fanta on draught.

  • I think we share the same disease. While cleaning my desk out at work yesterday, I found 4 water bottles and 3 soda bottles with various amounts of liquid in them. Now I have room for work stuff in the desk!

  • I'm like that about bottled water. I panic at the thought of being in the car without water to drink. Hence, many many half drunk bottles of water covering the floor of the back seat. (And I prefer Orangina...) I applaud your bravery in putting your addiction out there like this.

  • Sara Sue, that song does the drink great injustice. The drink is much better!

    Parad0x, Fanta originated in Israel. I should know. I've been drinking it from birth. It didn't come to the US til 10 years after I arrived here. In fact, my first internet search and first email ever was to the Coke company in Atlanta asking when they're going to start selling Fanta in the US. They gave me some lame excuse that Fanta is only for European markets and the Americans prefer more sugar so that's why there's Minute Maid. Totally ignoring the million + immigrant to this country who grew up on the superior Fanta!

    Jesus Birthday Celebrant, the reason I write on my blog at night is because my hubby is siting curled up in bed with the dog. I bought a new dog bed and been trying to train him to sleep in it. Unfortunately, hubby doesn't fit.
    Sorry I missed your party and the sexy dancing. That really sucks! I miss the good times.

    Chickie, I would like to inform you the disease is not contagious. And I think you should have never cleaned up your desk. Why give reasons to be able to work?

    HTGT, Yeah, I have plenty other addictions to embarrass myself in public. This is actually one of my mildest addiction.

    By Blogger Mybrid, at 12:59 AM, December 08, 2007  

  • I've always wondered who in the world drinks Fanta. I've seen the ads, but never even tasted it. Well, now I know who keeps Fanta in business. I'm sure the company that makes Fanta likes you, and wishes you live a very long, healthy life.
