Having an addiction is not a lot of fun. I felt very creeper-ish and sneaky during those two days. It was weird not being able to talk to one of my best friends about my ice cube addiction. And I knew if I didn't keep thinking about it, that I would forget. So I was always thinking about ice cubes. I can really see how having an addiction can threaten relationships. It was only for two days and it still felt weird having to hide something. Lies and deception are just not healthy to relationships.
My actions weren't all that different, to be honest. I still took ice cubes from the freezer in a sneaky way because it was more fun, though. Generally, my parents and brother weren't in the kitchen at the same time that I was. I originally kept more to myself, so my family wasn't that surprised. My family trusts me a lot, though, and I haven't ever done anything to make them not trust me. They see me in that good light, as I'm sure many other parents do. It's easy to see why parents are surprised that their children are addicts. Parents really want to see the good in their children. Addicts have a very hard time, and I can imagine the trouble that they must go through.
