I'm addicted to ice cream!

I quit drinking a little over six years ago. I now have a reward system: If I make it through the day without drinking, I get to indulge myself with a bowl of ice cream at bedtime. This has been going on for a while. Lately, I tell myself, when the ice cream runs out, I'm going to quit buying it. But, I constantly restock the freezer. Oh well, the way I figure it, it's way better than drinking!

It I have learned to rarely have it cause I would devour it.
Bad news, a new Backyard Burger place just opened here, and the milkshakes are legendary. Good news, it’s so popular I don’t wanna wait in line.
But, in light of the end of our liberal existence, the closer they get to me, I will just eat ice cream till I die. Fuck cholesterol. 🍧🍧🍧🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦
(Forget the cones, they take up space ice cream should fill)

That's one of my must have. I've been sober over 18 years, and got into an ice cream routine after I stopped drinking.
