Is it normal to be addicted to apples?

It's a long story for a strange question, but no one forces you to read it ^~

It started (I think) back when my brother had started to become a pusher. He isn't anymore, thanks God, but he was about 14 years old, when he started to take drugs and sell them.

He knows now that it was dumb, and so do I, but when I was 12 years old, I was just a kid who wanted to be like my brother. My father has a broken shoulder, for which he takes morphin pills to ease the pain. I used to take some of those from time to time. I don't think he ever noticed.

Anyways, it started there. Then later on came other types of pills. After a half year or so, I realized that I had started on something more dumb than shooting yourself. So I started to figure out a way to stop.

In the start I just tried to stay away from any kind of pill, but that didn't really pay off. Then I got the idea that whenever I wanted a pill, I'd take an apple instead. And surprisingly, it worked.

However, I'm somehow kind of addicted to apples now. Not because I'm complaining; it's better than being addicted to pills. But whenever I'm really sad or mad, or when life just seems like a mess, or sometimes without any reason, I just need an apple or two.

I doubt it's normal to start being addicted to apples like that. But is it normal, that when you stop being addicted to something (like pills) you get addicted to something else (like apples)?

    Well, Apples have small amounts of arsenic in them. In fact eating the seeds of apples is not good; they can even kill birds. I guess if you eat enough apples you can become addicted to them for many reasons might be the arsenic.

    Absolutely! I have to agree with the above commenters. It is absolutely wonderful that you focus ur addiction on a much much healthier substance, in ur case, the apples! So keep eating them and cherish them as ur life saving savior!

    Again, great job to stay away from drugs.

    You know what they say: "A apple a day keeps the doctor away". No but seriously, addictions are really hard to break and I think it's great that you've replaced a drug addiction with apples. I've never heard of anyone overdosing or getting sick from eating too many apples so I vote normal :)

    It's great that you stopped your addiction early before it ruins your life. It's normal to replace your addiction with a less harmful one, many people replace smoking with chewing gum, for instance.

    Apples are also healthy, and there is no harm in eating too many of them. But you probably know that.
