Self-Monitoring (Coffee Crazy)
Abstract The substance that I decided to choose was coffee, because I feel like I drink a lot of coffee in order to function throughout my day. I realized, while completing the self-monitoring form, how much coffee I was really drinking. I was surprised how one desires something in order to feel normal. Caffeine addiction isn't pleasant. If I normally down at least three cups of coffee to get through the day and then find myself stuck without my usual fix I end up being very agitated and feeling sick.
I have been addicted to coffee ever since I was in college. I used to go and buy an iced caramel at Dunkin Donuts every day before class in order to stay awake. I drink a coffee almost every day. My favorite flavor is caramel. I believe the experience I get from drinking coffee is different than someone who is addicted to caffeine. Yes, okay, I'm an addict. I love coffee! I drink a lot during the day, especially in the morning. I'm not addicted to the caffeine though. I'm addicted to the entire experience. To me drinking coffee really is the best thing about the morning!
So let’s start at the beginning on Monday 9/9/2013. The minute I woke up I was already thinking about coffee and how gravely I need it. Before I had my coffee I was tired, cranky, and not 100% awake. My head was spinning showing me that I needed my fix of caffeine, so I drove to Dunkin Donuts and bought a large iced coffee. The result was that after I drank the coffee I was awake, happy, and more focused. During this time I was alone. The consequence of drinking a lot of coffee was nothing that day, but during the course of monitoring my drinking habits I noticed that I would crash or get really aching migraines during the day after a few hours of drinking coffee. I also went to Dunkin Donuts again at 11:00am with two
