I found it to be difficult to lie to my parents and friends. One day at lunch my friends asked me what the bracelet was for and i replied with, "Dont worry about it, i cant tell you." They were quite offended that i did not tell them what it was for and i think they were slightly worried about what it was. I can definately see how a real addiction can affect relationships with loved ones. I dont know how people could lie like that all the time, i found it difficult to do for just 48 hours.
It suprised me how into the experiment i got. I found it fun to try to obtain ice cubes wherever i was. It was also fun to go to "the ice cube dealers" It was hard to constantly try to hide the ice cubes and the bracelet from other people. i felt like no matter what i did they still saw or "knew" what i was doing or even i felt like they were judging me.
I dont think my parents or my friends noticed a big change in my behavior. At some points when i was trying to obtain the ice cubes i probably seemed a little sketchy and they could have detected a change. However, overall i'm sure that they were not suspicious of anything. I understand how some parents may be shocked when they find out about their children being addicts. If they could hide it well enough, their parents would not be wondering about their actions.
