Im an Addict
I Just Realized I'm an Addict!
Hi my name is Paul and I'm an addict... I have been suffering from this affliction for a long time now. Thankfully it has been in remission. However, like any true addiction, it lays dormant just under the surface waiting to be awoken....and awoke in was! Now I blame Pirates of the Caribbean for my present dismal state of affairs. (maybe there is a lawsuit in here?). See I had taken my daughter to see it last week at a new theatre for us. It was very plush with nice seating, however, the best part was the popcorn! They have these self serve hot butter dispensers all over and fine popcorn salt, so the perfect combination of popcorn, salt and butter can be consumed- which it was- TWICE. I ate a whole bag while watching the show and enjoyed it SO much that I HAD to get a second bag for the ride hope! Thus my addiction was refueled!!!!
The Final Straw
So today was the final straw. I woke up with that hankering for nothing but POPCORN! I tried to fight the urge. I tried for quite some time, however, by 11 in the MORNING (You can see the time LOL) I could hold out no more! I have never had popcorn before for brunch, but I did today, and that confirms it: I'm a popcorn addict!!!!
Telltale Signs - Never One at a Time!
I cant fight the urge and I just cant help myself! I mean it no longer acceptable to just pick away at a large bowl just one piece at a time. Oh no, that would just delay the pleasure. No I'm not content until I am cramping multiple pieces into my mouth at the same time lol.
Pieces of popcorn laying on my chest is a sure sign Ive been shoving it in!
Rehab???
I doubt they have rehab for this popcorn addiction. But if there is money to be made, maybe there is one, or someone might start on lol.
What About You??
Have you ever felt the pangs of a popcorn addiction? What did you do for treatment?
Thanks for stopping by!

I love popcorn and I'm a serious addict myself
P.A.A. (Popcorn addicts anonymous) has a new mug available.
LOL!!! That's awesome!
😄😄
I cannot say I'm at risk of a popcorn addiction... Chocolate though... :-)
Go for the dark chocolate! Then you can sat=y you are being healthy about your addiction!!! :)
Haha, yeah! I do like dark chocolate, so that works out fine :D
Stay strong, in the battle against the popcorn!!
You can do this paul !
Thanks for your support! :)
Yes, there is treatment and it doesn't work on everyone, but try it. You must burn the popcorn. Do it 2 separate times. 2 big batches of burnt popcorn might just do it.
Yes of course that will break the habit haha. But those evil old women who make popcorn balls and carmel corn will lure you back in if you get weak and need a fix lol.
No doubt. They know the smell is irresistible!
Yes that is a fine plan. I think I am going to go with it! I will keep burning it till I run out of bags to burn LOL... Upped
I think that's an addiction I'd love to have. I buy something called flavacol which is a popcorn butter seasoning that tastes just like theaters. I went through a stage where I made popcorn every day when I discovered the seasoning. The only thing that stopped me is I accidentally broke my popcorn machine. lol
Ive been just using microwave popcorn. Is the machine type better? I have seen those machines that are like a mini version of the theater types. Ive thought maybe I should get one, but microwave is pretty convenient and I am pretty lazy lol.
I have an air popper but I learned how to use paper bags to make my own microwave ones and also a pot to make my own. I like making my own for different reasons. I buy big sacks of the kernals and one lasts me like 2 years so I save money. The other is I like experimenting. I like the flavacol with a little butter on most popcorn. Sometimes I make caramel corn or mix broken up kitkats in for a sweet salty taste. With a popcorn machine I can also make the quantity I want. I once took a plastic storage container big enough for me to hide in and filled it with popcorn. I used it for a party and the leftovers lasted a week. It was awesome.
A Storage container full of popcorn=heaven LOL Thanks for the nice reply!
Junkie :D
Yep guilty lol
I'm feelin' ya Brother. The theater in our neighborhood offers all you can eat popcorn and beverages. I would get a bucket, load it with butter and eat the whole thing by the time the movie was over. Then, as I was leaving I would fill the bucket up again and take it home to eat within the next couple days. Now I'm on a Keto diet. No popcorn allowed. I did manage to go watch "Alien Covenant" without ordering the popcorn. I stayed completely away from that section so as to not be tempted to snatch a kernel or two. I survived and I'm proud of myself for it. Of course, I did go home and pig out on food I can have. :-D
Well you did good and should be proud of how you abstained!
Haha! Right there with you... I try to justify my addiction as being ok because it's organic popcorn with grassfed butter and sea salt. Popcorn is so good I don't think I want to be cured of it's addictive properties lol. You've just made me want to watch a movie tonight and enjoy some popcorn!
Oh yeah that's downright health food at that point lol. IN that case I say extra grassfed butter and double the see salt :) upped!
You'll know when you've got a real problem when you start hanging around movie theatres after the film has finished, fishing the discarded popcorn from between the seats.
I don't share your addiction but I've noticed a proliferation of up-market popcorn brands, this may have something to do with your current problem.
Get well soon : )
Hey you might be onto something here. I wonder if you get a big discount near closing time??? :) upped
