MY ADDICTION.

I can add, gambling, shopping, sex, work and many others to that list. Thankfully, for me the only addiction I have is the love of sugar in my coffee or tea - I must have at least two teaspoons per cup.
With four cups of tea or coffee a day , that adds up to eight teaspoons every day and fifty-six per week. It is very scary to think how much sugar I will consume in a month or a year. Therefore, my plan to combat this problem is to stick to two cups a day with one teaspoon of sugar in each . By the way , I don't put sugar in my herbal teas - but those I don't drink for fun.
How do you take your coffee, tea or other hot beverages? and are you addicted to anything?

That's a bit of coffee there and sugar. Do you get a sugar rush and then get real tired later? Coffee is not my addiction only 1 cup in the morning with 1/2 equal. Mine is sweets period! Your plan sounds good, slowly reduce the amount to combat the craving. Guess I should do that with my sweets

Sounds like a plan in cutting sugar on your tea or coffee. As for me, I don't put sugar on my tea.

@Kandae11 but I add milk. Milk tea that is.

Do you like any of the artificial sweeteners?

i make my delicious cup of coffee that my son and siblings want to have when they are here...
... but thinking aside, maybe because they just want me to prepare them coffee, which i normally do, even now that we are only 3 at home?

No I don't like sugar and I drink beverages only at times not daily.

I don't drink coffee or tea any more.. I used to put creamer in the coffee and sugar but it messed with my stomach. When I kept having kidney stones, I gave up most of the sugar and salts... and been much better.. I was drinking coffee black for a while, got used to the taste , but found i had to eliminate it from my morning routine.

I'm addicted to sugar in other forms like cake, cookies etc. but when it comes to coffee or tea I just drink it plain (no milk or sugar)

I'd say my addictions are chocolate and reading.
