I have a confession!

I have a deep, deep serious confession. This confession may be very serious to some and not so serious to others. No I have not run over anyone, or have been in a shoot out or have slapped someone face, even though I would love to do that, I have so many on my list (lol). The truth is I confess to well, having an ADDICTION. Many people struggle with this addiction like I do. Some will admit to this addiction and many will not. I STAND UP TO YOU TODAY WITH MY HAND OVER MY HEART AND ADMIT THAT I HAVE AN ADDICTION!

Some people are addicted to sex (not me). Some are addicted to cigarettes (no puff puff's for me). Some are addicted to alcohol (not really a drinker). Some are addicted to drugs (no it's not drugs of any kind).

 My addiction, are you ready? Well, well, my addiction is to (wait for it, wait for it), DAIRY. There I said it, DAIRY. I have this extreme craving, this un natural desire for dairy. I think about dairy morning, noon and night! I do not know whether it is because I have a vitamin deficiency or what but I crave diary like crazy.

I love, love, and love pizza, milk, cheese and ice cream like no ones business. When I try to shy away from it by body goes into withdraw. You should see me, my body pants and hurts for dairy. I know this is not normal.

I am not surprised that I have this addiction because I have an addictive personality! Have you ever heard of addictive personalities? A person with an addictive personality is a person that has certain personality traits that makes them predisposed or makes a person prone to addictions. People who have addictive personalities are at high risk of becoming addicted to gambling, food, pornography, exercise, work and codependency.

There are so many factors that come into play when it comes to having an addictive personality. All of them are very interesting, but the biological factor is the one I am interested in right now because it explains some things about me.

One source mentioned that neurotransmitters are another factor thought to give fire to addictive personalities. Unbalances in dopamine levels can lead people to engage in activities that give them a dopamine “high,” which then becomes addicting.

That statement explains it perfectly. When I think about dairy, whether it is pizza, milk, cheese or ice cream I get overly excited. When I eat these food I get an extreme high, I am on cloud 9, 10, 11, and 12. The high is almost unexplainable. During the process of eating these food, the high gradually comes down slowly. It is kind of weird I would say. I have been experiencing this for many, many years.

This addiction can be very dangerous. Eating high amounts of dairy can lead to health problems like high cholesterol, heart disease and high blood pressure just to name a few.
