So.. the days are melting into each-other with the giving up coffee thing. A really good thing because it means that i'm barely thinking about it anymore.
I've had a few times that have made me feel really good throughout the whole quitting period; I went to Starbucks and didn't drink a coffee. I had breakfast out and didn't have a real coffee (I had decaf),
I was also pondering the idea of getting some decaf coffee for me to drink at home and then decided against it (with a small sigh of disappointment of course
). I figured that if i'm drinking decaf at home all the time then i'd be far more likely to start drinking normal coffee again.. Part of the point of removing an addiction is to get rid of the habits as well as the addiction itself.
My brain is of course helpfully rationalising this for me.. decaf lacks the bite of real coffee - just that little bit of real bitterness that you can taste..
Therefore.. what's the point? decaf might taste nice but it lacks something and since I can't have exactly what I want.. I may as well give up the habit completely.
anyway.. I wasn't coming to my blog to ramble on about coffee but since i'm not awake properly yet.. I'm still gathering my thoughts into a nice and untangled ball.
I'll do a new entry for what I was coming to talk about.
Oh.. and yesterday was such a lovely day.
I felt content and peaceful for most of it and everything seemed just really nice. It's amazing how different the world seems to me when I feel happy and secure (and that's actually what was really on my mind but I rambled about coffee instead)
Huge hugs for all that want them.
