I remember the first time I tried it. One of my friends said it was really casual and “no big deal”. 10 years later I’m still hooked. I don’t know whether it’s the loss of touch with reality thats appealing to me, or maybe just the fact that it calms me down like nothing before, all I know is I can’t stop. I’ve had family interventions and I’ve tried to stay away from it but I just can’t. I never really wanted to either, I always thought I had control. But now, when it’s having a negative effect on my education, when I miss classes simply to soothe my addiction, I know it’s gone too far. There is no controlling this.
It’s not going to be easy. I will most likely be in a bad mood because of it, and I hear some people even start to shake due to it or what not. But I don’t care.
Today is the day I take on the challenge that will hopefully make me a healthier, happier and stronger person in the long run.
Today is the day I will stop taking naps.
If any of you feel the same just know you’re not alone. We’re stronger than this and we will get through this sleeping addiction. Together.
