Addiction is an Ugly Thing

Should I be ashamed that the lady in the Carl's Jr drive-thru recognizes my car in the morning and as I pull up she just immediately asks, "So you just want a large Diet Coke and an extra cup of ice, right?"

I rattle off a quick, "Yep, thank you," and pull forward. I'm usually too busy putting on my eyeliner and mascara to feel the full weight and shame of my addiction. That's just how we do mornings 'round here.

Nothing says "good morning" like the sweet bubbly goodness of Diet Coke!

I'm not a morning Diet Coke drinker (at least during the school year) but the manager at my local Sonic does give me the Happy Hour special pricing whenever I manage to drive thru. In my mind I call it the Addict's special.

I am a Diet Coke drinker ESPECIALLY in the morning. Maybe I should leave a minute or two early and see if the Addict's special is available at our Sonic.
