I May Be an Addict

I am going for shock value with the title of this post but I do believe that I may in fact be an addict.  It is a tough thing to admit and perhaps that is the first step in over coming any addiction is admitting that I am an addict.  Now, I do not do drugs, I do not drink alcohol (I can't even spell alcohol, it took me three tries and then I just right clicked and let the computer fix it for me), I don't smoke, I don't view pornography, I don't get on pinterest or watch Dr. Who, I don't drink coffee or coke or have a need to get my caffeine fix, I am not addicted to running, not addicted to ESPN or sports in general, not really a fan of fast food either.  Now I'm sure I have failed to mention several addictions and suffice to say I am most likely not addicted to them either.  I do however type this post with my spoon sitting next to my keyboard.  This is not any spoon, well, actually it is just a standard spoon out of the silverware drawer, it isn't special as far as that actual spoon.  As I was saying, this is not just any spoon, it is my Nutella spoon.  Therein is my addiction.  I love the Nutella.  Sometimes I make my own and sometimes it just sucks.  Regardless, I like to have a jar of Nutella on hand and I like to take my not so special special spoon and scoop some of the chocolate hazelnut goodness right out of the Nutella jar and eat it.  I do hate the shape of the Nutella jar but that is another story, my addiction gets me past that damn jar.  When I sit down to write this blog and the hour is late and I am feeling a bit drowsy, I reach for my spoon and it gets me through.  It is so good.  So yes, I am an addict.  The Nutella calls to me and I come.  Really I shouldn't but it is just so hard, so very, very hard.  Is there a 12 step program for Nutella addicts?  Are there others out there?  We must come together and rid ourselves of this addiction... wait, forget that.  We must come together, spoons in hand and awkwardly shaped jars of Nutella at the ready.  Embrace the addiction, spoon it, eat it, double dip it and do it again, love it, Nutella.
