Okay, yes, it is an addiction. it's not a really bad one like alcohol, tobacco, etc. It's Caffeine. To be more specific, energy drinks that just so happen to contain caffeine.

Lately, I've been having a lot more energy drinks than usual because it's tough for me to wake up in the morning and I absolutely despise coffee. I would rather just drink caffeine and not all the other garbage in energy drinks that have actually killed teenagers before. Taurine, Glucose, (sugar) Ginseng, L-Carnitine, Gluctrolactone, Inositole, Guarna, and Maltodextrin are the ingredients that make up the energy blend in Monster.

People have been telling me things like I'll be dead by 40 or I'll be that kid to make the news because he died after drinking two Nos energy drinks.

I've decided that I'm gonna ditch energy drinks all together.

Thanks, it means a lot

Yah, no kidding. I feel like it's extra important for me to beat this because my some of my older relatives have trouble with alcoholism and I don't want that to be me.

Yeah, too much of something is never good. I might try to drink Vitamin Water. I like the Lemonade flavor.

Good luck. I think caffeine is a tough one to drop. Will you stop drinking Mt Dew?

Good luck, with beating your addiction...I don't really like energy drinks that much, in my opinion they have a weird taste.
