Starbucks Addiction

and Ways to Stop It

I have been addicted to Starbucks already for a year. It all started when I tried my first Frappuccino. At that moment I knew that I was addicted. Every week I would buy three Frappuccinos every time I went to work: Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays. I started to notice that I couldn’t really stop myself from buying one of those when I went to work.

Whether or not you've yet noticed, you can find a Starbucks every two blocks, they're everywhere. Actually, there are 21,160 Starbucks all over the world, 12,067 of which can be found in the US. After doing some calculations, I noticed that I spend around 65 dollars a month only on Starbucks, and there are many other people who spend even more money by buying one or more Starbucks drinks every day.
