An addiction is an addiction, no matter what the drug of choice.
Chocolate, Wonderful chocolate, How I adore you! But I'm trying so hard To live without you Though not with much success. Don't you understand The danger I am in? My weight is climbing, My cholestrol is high, My family history Promises retribution If I don't soon control My insatiable eating Of all the wrong things. And you ARE the wrong thing! Why can't you leave me alone? Leave me in peace So I may live my life To its fullest And longest.

Maybe so, but chocolate has a sweetness all of its own. The key is always to be taken in moderation, well written piece....

Be always safe,
Karen

Your introductory summary says it all - as does this addictive poem - can't be as bad as my habit, smoking - trying to quit, but it's hard - so hard - pass the chocolate, please!! Well done, and good luck on your battle, Rebecca.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
