You are going to think I’m crazy…if you don’t already. But I can’t even write about anything other than Red Bull today, because it is the only thing on my mind. Sadly, not kidding. Many years ago I tried Red Bull and thought it was disgusting. Then about a year later I was in Dallas in the dead of summer. It was about 120 degrees and HUMID. I found myself in a van with NO air conditioning and literally felt like I was going to die. We kept the windows open but the blowing air felt like a hair dryer. The only thing in the cooler was Red Bull on ice and I drank 8 over the course of a few hours. Ever since then I have been hooked. When I say hooked… I mean addicted. Like a crack addict. I have single handedly funded that company I am sure of it!
I stopped both times being pregnant and counted down the days until my babies would wean from breast feeding so I could start back up again. Gross, I know! So I decided the other day I needed to quit. I have been drinking about 5 a day (about $10 a day! I’d be better off smoking!) . I wake up and crack a cold one the moment I wake up!
Yesterday was my first day of NO Red Bull. I went out with my mom to keep myself busy. People have joked that Red Bull can’t be an addiction and that I am just being funny. I wish I was because yesterday felt like hell. I was like a drug addict the first day of rehab. I was so sick I couldn’t drive. I couldn’t see straight and my head felt like it was going to pop off. I was nauseous and couldn’t stop shaking!! I was mad at the world and could not function. I went to bed at 9pm. Which is crazy for me. I just couldn’t handle it anymore.
I woke up this morning shaking and couldn’t deal. I drank one at 1pm and gave myself the excuse of “I will taper off”… So basically I’m a failure…. I’m really going to try to keep it at just 1 today…AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. This is ridiculous.
Any pointers?
