Addiction: from coffee and tea to drugs of abuse

The most common drug of abuse is marihuana; it’s out everywhere, in every social meeting, but I’m not going to talk about it, because I don’t have much to say.

By the way, it is not a drug of abuse but I’m addicted to tea, I love it and my day is no complete without three or four cups of tea.

About a year ago the doctor banned me the tea because I had anemia but I didn’t listen to him, the addiction was louder.  The doctor explained to me that the tannins in the tea block the absorption of iron, so, as he said, the tea is harmful for the anemia, it’s like every treatment is no working if I’m drinking 3 cups of tea every day. By the way, it was a long time ago, I took iron in pills and I ate every piece of meat that my grandmother put in front of me, it was a part of the treatment and I used to hate it because in that time I’d really wanted to stop to eat meat but, again, the doctor said that I couldn’t.

Another substance that I drink a lot it is the energy drinks, I used to consume it three or four times a week, I don’t know how many it is recommended but I really like how they taste. The most of the time, the reason why I drink energy drink it is not because I feel sleepy or something like that, it is because I need to drink something really cold in a hot day. I think, every substance is not recommended in a high dose, but that’s what addiction are, not be able to stop consuming.
