My Addiction Assignment On Coffee Essay - 1252 Words

Hamda Awawdeh Psychology 2000 My Addiction I decided to do my addiction assignment on coffee. I have chosen coffee because I can never go a day without it. I usually drink coffee around three times a day, one cup in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening. My sisters always think that I’m going overboard with how much coffee I drink. It helps me wake up and feel more energized, which helps me throughout the day. I feel like my coffee addiction started when I began to go to college, because that’s when my stress level reached its max. I was always over stressed about assignments and tests and coffee was like a stress reliever for me. It would calm my headaches down and help me focus on what I needed to do. Before college, I used to only drink coffee once in a while and I never really relied on it like I do now. Once I wake up in the morning the first thing I do is turn my coffee maker on, and make coffee to start off my day. I usually just drink a cup of coffee for breakfast instead of eating anything. This is a very typical routine for me and it’s been this way for a while, so it’s going to be a very interesting experience to stop for three days. My main fear for giving up coffee for three days is that I know I will be lacking a lot of energy. Without it I always feel very tired and sluggish and I can never focus. I feel like I will be very tempted to drink coffee, but I’m going to try my best to stop for the next three days.
