Caffeine
I wouldn't use the word addicted to describe how I feel towards caffeine. It's not that caffeine that I'm addicted to, it's more of the coffee and tea that it's normally found in. Now that stuff I can say without a doubt I'm currently addicted to.
Now, my relationship with coffee (more so than tea) is that I used to drink it almost everyday some years ago, but when I found out how bad it was supposedly for you I stopped drinking it. And then for a long time I rarely drank it because I almost grew to dislike the flavor. One of my teachers actually just tried coffee for the first time this past summer and he said it tasted like motor oil.
And then I had coffee one day sometime in the past six months. And I started to have it every so often so the addiction wasn't really there at that point. And then the summer hit. Oh boy did summer completely change my drinking habits towards coffee and tea. Everyday it was like ruitine to have a cup of tea in the morning, no matter what I was doing. With school, I could just make the drink and bring it in a thermos but I usually don't have time so throughout the entire day I'm craving either tea or coffee.
Chai is definitely my favorite tea, if we don't have that I resort to the Lipton but I could easily drink two cups of chai a day. Coffee on the other hand can be any number of things. Since my mom has an espresso maker I sometimes go for a cappuccino and other times it's an Americano, or if I just want the coffee I was used to as a kid I make instant coffee with hot water.
I'll end this quick rambling with a unrelated picture and a question. Are you addicted to any foods or drinks?
Oh don't even get me started with Tea. It's my frickin' drug man.. Every morning, I have mixed berry flavored green tea that I take with me to college, then most days midday, I get a commercial tea (Arizona tea, Peace tea, etc) just to try out (I usually love em all lol).. and then for dinner I always have some good ol' southern sweet tea. Ahh...tea
That's what I'm drinking right now actually 
I also feel somewhat addicted to bagels and cream cheese >.> I don't have it everyday, but when I do get it, I stock up. For about a good 2 weeks I'll have 2-4 bagels, smothered in strawberry cream cheese, a day. I think it's the cream cheese mostly, but last time I got bagels with blueberries in 'em and oh my goodness, it was delicious!
Pheww.. all this talk of tea and bagels is making crave both of them so bad haha. At least I have some tea with me

Oh my goodness I could have written this entire post. Like... word for word. I gave up drinking coffee too even though I do appreciate a nicely brewed coffee. It is just so awful for you! I also gave up soda, as well. I never really enjoyed soda much anyway so I wasn't missing out. I had a coffee months later one afternoon and I was up the entire night! It was ridiculous. My body just can't handle it anymore.
I love tea. So much. In my cabinet right now I have chai, pepperment, regular tea, and a tea called New Zealand breakfast.
