My name is Beth and I'm an addict.
At first, I thought I'd just give it a try. Everyone else was doing it and I didn't see any harm. So, almost a month a go, I tried it. It was thrilling and exciting, and still didn't think for a second it would become what it is.
However, I found myself reaching for it more and more. Sometimes just for fun, however after a while it became a time filler, then almost a must have part of my day. I closed my eyes and I could see it. I dreamt about it, I talked about it, I read/watched videos about other people who were enjoying it too. I would use it in school, in lessons, around friends, at home, alone. It was a staple in my daily routine, and in a way a big part of my life.
What is this thing I'm addicted to?
Candy Crush.
Probably one of the most frustrating games I've got on my iPhone but man that game is addictive. No joke, I'd see Candy Crush combinations whenever I shut my eyes. I'm not the only one either, Jim Chapman and Zoella Sugg (both popular youtubers who I admire loads) both talk about dreaming of the candy board. I seemed to get through the levels quite quickly, mainly because I spent boring lessons watching world war 2 films with my eyes glued to the phones screen. I've got passed level 35, and now it says to unlock the rest I need to pay £0.69p. Apparently I downloaded the wrong version which may be the most devastating news I'm ever going to hear, I spent way too much time on that game, don't make me start again :'(
Has anyone else caught onto the addiction too? I know I'm not the only one, this can be our support group. Leave a comment below!
