An Accidental Addiction


So I'm definitely addicted to caffeine.
.
If I haven't had any within an hour of waking up, I get a headache, and without several cups of coffee or tea throughout the day, I'm even sleepier than usual. (Granted, it's the time of the semester when everyone is tired 24/7, but still.) Ironically enough, I didn't even try to get hooked on caffeine; it only happened because I was so cold, I started drinking coffee at every meal in Saga. Apparently, my brain got used to it and now cannot survive without said coffee. Blast.
.
I'm not planning to "go cold turkey," but cutting back to two cups of caffeine a day would be a start, yes?

  1. Defintely! =) I use to hate coffee and only drank it as a last resort...but working in barns in freezing cold weather taught me to appreciate it...especially if you put raw honey in it and half and half...yummy...focus, focus! it's also a perfect remedy for a migraine....except:
    you're right, drinking too much of it brings them on! =(
    I also know if I start drinking too much of it...it gives me the shakes!

  3. mmmm, the good old caffeine addiction. It's kind of funny, though... in all of my months of working in a coffee shop, I never quite got addicted. I think a couple of times I got a headache if I drank something with 4 shots of espresso and then had nothing the next day...
    Yeah, cutting back slightly will probably help. I don't think it's necessary to go cold turkey, and going decaf is just nasty. ;-)
    see you later!!!
