Martinis at Midnight

The Addiction Martini

The Addiction Martini

As always insight comes to me in the latest hour of the evening. On this evening the insight was brought to me by a dear friend, who I share several similarities with. One of our similarities is our desire for not just a good martini but a great martini. On this night not only were we comparing our addiction to the wrong lover but also our addiction to the most incredible martini? This Addiction martini is one that you absolutely can not say no to. It is a martini that when the bartender asks you if you want another you have to say Yes! It is a martini that gets you all fired up, makes you crazy, but it is a martini that you can not stop. It has a desire to please all its own.

The Addiction martini is a pleasurable mixture of white rum, coconut rum, and banana liqueur. Then you add the most delicious fresh pineapple juice. This is a martini that may sound a little sweet but it is just a delicate mixture of flavors that it is incredibly smooth and sinful it makes you believe that you have only had a few. This martini is the epitome of when it is good, it is soooo good and when it is bad oh god it is bad. It is just like when you are in an addictive relationship, even though you know that you should get out, it just feels way too good that you can not say no! Even when you know that is the worst thing you should do!

Addictive relationships, AAAAHHHHH they are the nemious of many people in this world. What is it about being with someone that is so good but then is so very very bad? How does it happen that when you meet someone, it can be so incredible in the beginning? The lust combined with the sex and the wanting to be with this person every waking moment? When they are up it is all good! Being with them is like the best drug ever, they bring to such amazing highs of laughter, they make you feel so good, and they drive you crazy with the never ending ensaishable sex. All you want to do is be with this person and make them happy because they are so addictive you just can not get enough of them. But slowly over a period of time you notice that the ups are less and less and the downs, well they are just becoming more and more increasingly ugly. The moodiness is very subtle but it seems to be occurring more frequently, it seems to creep up through out an evening. So what started out as a great night ends up in a fight or a mellow Sunday is all of a sudden a day of issues and dilemma about what you are not doing to fulfill the relationship. This is when the addiction becomes destructive.

“The Addiction is so strong that you start to crave those moments of uncontrollable giddiness and lustful bliss.”

But those moments are not as frequent; slowly you start to think that it is something that you have done wrong? Or maybe you are not good enough for this amazing person. You decide to walk away from this destructive relationship but some how you end up getting sucked back in, how? Do we crave an addictive relationship just like we crave our addictions to drugs and alcohol? Is it something that you can not just break away from? Do we need rehab to break free from an addictive relationship?

However there is always a way to justify an addiction. The easiest way is through moderation. Moderation is a way of saying that I am not addicted to something because I only indulge in it every once and awhile. But that is really a load of crap because everyone’s version on once in awhile is different. We delude ourselves into believing that if we moderate our addictions then we really are not addicted. It is like the coffee addict who limits themselves to 2 cups a day or the cigarette smoker who only smokes after dinner. Are these people practicing moderation or are they closet addicts in denial? This moderation is used in relationships as well, the phrase "well we are only sleeping together", or "I only call her every once in awhile." These are all things we tell ourselves when we have broken away from the addiction but are still getting sucked back in by the pleasure. This is when the delusion needs your friend’s intervention. It is only with an intervention that we can accept the fact that we are addicted and make a choice to get over it. It is then that you decide to find that kind of pleasure with in yourself and not with a person that is constantly up and down.

Conclusion:

The Addictive martini is a drink that is so damn good that you can not say no. When you mix this combination and take a sip, the pleasure that washes over you from the flavors of pineapple, coconut and banana are to dream of. The rum makes all your intentions of moderation dissolve in just one martini. Everyone is addicted to something! Whether it is drugs, alcohol or a destructive relationship. Some people live in the world of delusion by pretending they are not addicted because they practice moderation. It is only when you really accept that you are addicted to something that you can truly break free. You will want to break free when there is more destruction then there is pleasure. However if you enjoy the pleasure of this incredible martini then I would suggest using moderation because as long as this martini is not hurting anyone then keep up the delusion. Because damn this martini is soooooo good.
