Ice Cube Anonymous (ICA)

Well, the ice cube addiction has officially ended. I personally think we should have tried following the challenge for longer than two days. The exercise really was a great way to see what addicts must go through everyday. I would have to be secretive, sneaky and somewhat peculiar on a daily basis. Following the 48 hour ice cube addiction was quite difficult at times. The days that we only had the addiction for half a day were easy. I really think we should have changed the days of the addiction because two full, consecutive days would have probably been more difficult than splitting them up. Also, having the Kiddie Clinic right after school stopped me from drinking any beverages, even when I was feeling extremely thirsty. Even if I could satisfy my addiction, there’s no way I could let the little girls see me with ice cubes! I guess it was kind of unusual for someone to not even want a beverage at dinner. That probably made me a bit suspicious. Drinking ANYTHING was always on my mind. I can see how an addict would have a tough time in situation where they can’t have their “fix”. There was no way my parents were even questioning me. They were always in a separate room when I opened the freezer.  In the sneaky way that I accessed my “drug”, I can see how some parents may not even know their child has an addiction. When I got home I decided to confess my addiction to my mom. I told her that it’s really hard for me to say this and she waited for me to explain myself. She asked me what my addiction was and I said “Ice Cubes”. As soon as I told her she scolded me and said I better not be chewing on them, they will ruin my teeth! I laughed hysterically, knowing she had no idea what I was talking about. Anyway, I overcame my ice cube addition. Drinking with ice is not something I want to do when it’s a mere zero degrees outside.

I am Brooke Weiland, and I am no longer addicted to ice cubes.
