Quit drinking coffee

A few lapses, but held strong today. And I really wanted one! Bad! But the problem was that my cup was dirty. Actually a few times I’ve thought I’d take a chai or hot chocolate to work but don’t have a hot cup. So either I will be washing my hot cup from work and taking it back and forth or buying another one to satisfy my morning hot-drink craving.

but fell off the wagon today. No jitters, because it was powdered cappuccino. Had to even add sugar. Ick. Not worth it!!!

for many years, I thought if I started drinking coffee, I would get hooked. And for a while that wasn’t true, so I let down my guard. Then I pitched in coffee at work and brought yummy half and half in and that was the end of it.

So about two weeks ago I went to a meeting and sucked coffee the whole time and my heart raced! Seriously! And of course I couldn’t sleep that night, even though I was so tired. And I went a few weeks without.

This morning I was feeling like a treat and got a coffee shop coffee and now it’s 9:05 p.m. and I STILL feel hyper! And I got the racey heart again. So it is time.

I think I don’t really need the caffeine but like the comfort of a warm drink in the morning. I have an herbal tea at work that I really like and is soothing on the throat (awesome feature being a teacher) so will try to focus on that more than coffee. But I have to drink it right away when I get there because otherwise I have to pee at the worst time and can’t leave my room!!
