It hurts, it hurts real bad.
I gave up coke (as in coca cola) at the start of the month and it hurt me deep down inside.
Well my health just up and slapped me in the face a couple of times, (Bitch) which made me try to look at any avenue possible to the road to good health. And Caffeine seemed to be a trigger I noticed on some bad days, even though I usually only had one cup, sometimes two a day. So I had a little talk with myself about this, unto which we decided we would have to say our goodbyes to our morning muse…. so I kissed it good bye and had a little cry, cause decaf just somehow ain’t the same. :(
But I think my family misses me drinking it more than me even, as I am a bit of a bear without in the morning (heavy on the understatement there).
...Gawd I love the smell of fresh coffee in the morning, and the rush of caffeine pumping through the veins.
Daily mantra
“ I must be strong, I must be strong, I must be strong’
DHARMA PUT THAT COFFEE POT DOWN RIGHT NOW !!!
in time this shall come, and the pain will slowly ease away
;)
I got one foot trying desperately to step back to thirty, and another quickly sliding towards forty…. Which by my calculations, leads me to believe I am straddling the fence at 35 last I checked.
Which seems as good a time as any to make some changes towards a better healthier lifestyle.
And for me, it happens to be my one, sometimes two cups of coffee a day.
I do enjoy herbals teas, but they have yet to give me that warm feeling I got from my morning cuppa Joe.
...Perhaps I just haven’t found the right one.

I heard from my elders that coffee just tasted better as they got older. No other drink is soothing, they said. My grandmother drank hers with a lot of sugar. My granduncle had it black (while smoking a cigarette attached to the split end of a bamboo skewer). And they do relax and take thier time while having coffee.
I stopped drinking soda or fruit juice when i turned 30 and just started drinking coffee at 32. Now, I only prefer espresso – double shot, twice a day. No jitters because I drink a lot of water. Teas are OK, but I have yet to find one that satisfies my taste.

It’s always a bit of a dilemma, it’s as if I am cheering your pain ~and your families as well ;) ~ but really it’s a cheer of encouragement and hopes that you will find a good alternative because I know how much you miss it. And I can’t tell you how many coffee-related gifts that make me think of you and how much I wish you could indulge without worry!
You are strong, you are strong, you are strong. ;)
and ya know, it’s just not the same I tell ya!
I crave IT, I want IT, I Need IT!!
I want to bath in pure unaltered CAFFINE!
I want to rub coffee beans allover my body, and stuff them in my ears and nose…(..ok, maybe not my nose..) in hopes my skin will absorb some of it’s caffeine kick I soooo want right now!
But I am holding strong. I know that if I give in just a little bit, I will give in all the way, and it will be over before you know it!
Can you say “Double Espresso Baby?!!”
Therefore I am steering clear of the stuff.
….But if you happen to be in the grocery store one day, and catch sight of a disheveled woman sniffing the coffee bean bags….you’ll know it’s me. ;)
No pain no gain right?
right?
I have stocked my cupboards with all sorts of alternatives, some good, and some have turned out to be not so good. But at least I will have tried. And you my dear have just reminded me I am out of my green tea, to which I will put on my pick up list as we speak, and grab a box later on today. Thanks for the encouragement, and words of advice! cheers!
