Tame my coffee addiction

Stopped for a few weeks, tried tea – now back on the coffee.

I still drink coffee daily but I’m no longer depend on it.

Yesterday I had no coffee, and felt pretty bad in the evening and this morning. Had my second coffee for today and started feeling better, so it’s definitely due to that.

Incidentally, I came across this goal while googling “coffee addiction”, it was around 7 or 8 on the results page.

No…I had to be at work by 7:30 am and I HAD to stop and get a Rock Star :-(. It was pretty nasty too, but was the only caffeine available!

I’m trying not to give in for my evening “rush” while I’m doing homework…so I made a weak coffee and filled 1/4 of the cup with milk. I’m going to try to drink water for the rest of the evening.

I love coffee…but I hate depending on it to function. I regularly only drink 1 cup a day during my morning classes, but lately with the high humidity in the air and STRESS I get headaches that only caffeine can resolve. And coffee works so much faster than advil or tylenol.

I’ve been trying to switch to green tea with honey, and from there to herbal teas. At least I’m not addicted to Red Bull or anything like that yet but some mornings…man!

Today was a bad day. Today was a four (three and a half) coffee day.

that is very much over my intended limit of two per day. It just needed to happen i think… i didn’t eat enough, and luckily i have been good to myself so the gut-rot didn’t sink in.

Alright, back on the bandwagon for me. Only two tomorrow, i promise.

Yes, yes it is.

It is not that i want to quit coffee. Far from it. I love coffee. I could never quit coffee.

But, i don’t want to ever feel that gut-rot feeling i get when i’ve had too much coffee ever again. I don’t ever want to spend money i don’t have on coffee ever again. I don’t want to be bitchy to people because i haven’t had coffee yet ever again. I want to tame the habit, dammit!

From now on, i only drink coffee because i want to, not because i have to.

From this moment forward, i am coffee addiction free! But i’ll still enjoy this cup i’m drinking now.

I love coffee so much that I’m not even sure if i “sincerely” want to tame my coffee addiction… I know it’s not good for you but somehow it has become part of my morning/afternoon/eveing ritual. Pathetic, I know. Hot tea just doesn’t do it for me. I guess my goal is not so much to tame my addiction but to WANT to tame my addiction.
