A few weeks ago, I gave up coffee. And while I’ve been sleeping much better since that fateful decision, my overall enthusiasm for life has dropped off noticeably. So when I was in the store today, I picked up a can of the stuff “for special occasions”.
Naturally, the first special occasion occurred the moment I got home. “Hey I’m home! What an occasion! I’ll make some coffee!”
I’m not sure the “special occasions” rule is gonna last.

LOL! Addiction is a terrible thing! I love coffee.
Amen!
Each day I wake up alive,is a special occasion,so each day I can enjoy my vices, and coffee is indeed one of them.
I think that people’s physiologies just work differently. Some folks are just naturally “up”, and others need a little boost. Coffee qualifies as a little boost, I think. Some tasks that I’m not really looking forward to are easier to face once I’ve had a cuppa.
Maybe some day we’ll treat addictions as attempts to correct body chemistry issues instead of character flaws. I think treatment for some addictions will be a lot more successful when we do.
I gave up caffeine for 2 years but now I’m back off the wagon worse than ever!
