Once You Get Started, You Can’t Stop!

      “I think you’ve got a problem,” my sister told me while we sat on the couch watching TV.

     “Yeah? What’s my problem?” I asked.

     “You’re addicted to it.”

     “I’m not.”

     ‘You are,” she said. “Yesterday, you bought plenty of it. You went out of the house just to buy it. And you’re a member of three private Facebook groups dedicated to it. And you already look high just by holding it."

     “It makes me happy, it makes me forget my problems.”

     “Yeah,” she shook her head sadly. “Soon, you’d be borrowing money, or worse stealing stuff to sell just to be able to buy it. Soon, it would affect your health, including your mental health. And when you’ve run out of stuff to sell, you’d sell your girlfriend. No, you haven’t had a girlfriend all your life. Instead, you’d sell your own body. But sadly, no one will buy it, for sure, even at a very large discount. Then, you’d be homeless, you’d live in the streets, together with your fellow addicts. You’d do all kinds of crimes. And ultimately, you’d sell your soul to the devil.”

     I snickered. “That won’t happen,” I said.

     “It will, if you don’t stop your addiction.”

     “I’m not an addict,” I said, and stood up to take another bag of Nagaraya Cracker Nuts, this time, hot & spicy flavor, my third bag within an hour. I really didn’t think it was possible to get addicted to these cracker nuts. It’s not shabu and there is no addicting chemical in it, I thought while munching nuts, and in a blink, I emptied the bag.

     I stood up to get my fourth bag.

     Addicted to Nagaraya? Lol. It simply is not possible. Sex addiction, porn addiction, drug addiction, mobile games addiction, yes, those happen, but Nagaraya addiction? Haven’t heard of it.
