So, this week I had this great idea, well I thought it was great at the time, to cut back on my caffeine intake. You see I typically drink a pot of coffee in the morning just to get me going and then several ice tea’s during the day. Then at night wine to relax me (but that’s a post all in itself). I began to realize that I was having trouble sleeping and figured it was due to one of three things. My high stress level, sleeping with my Blackberry and feeling compelled to see what emails came across at 3am, or way to much caffeine. Since caffeine seemed to be the easiest to cut out I decided to go with that first. But now after three days of headaches and being bitchy to everyone, I am not so sure it was such a great idea.
That leaves me in a bit of a quandary. I have made three days of headway on cutting back (not out) the caffeine and I would hate to give up all this great progress. But I am tired of feeling, well, tired and crabby. When will this end? When will this vicious drug be out of my system? How can this be legal and marijuana’s not (okay I know the answer to that one-just trying to be funny)?
So, I ask you all to support me today in my fight against caffeine by going cold turkey – no caffeine – for an entire day.
Together we can do it (I sure hope so at least)!

Sorry, Lady, no can do! I get enough headaches as it is! Maybe cutting down is the answer- not going cold turkey. When dealing with any substance like that, you should wean slowly. I only drink one cup of coffee in the morning, so I’m ok with that.
Recent research is emerging that says coffee is good for us. As far as the sodas and sweet tea…not so much.
I possibly would not have contemplated this was helpful two or three years back, yet it’s fascinating how age evolves the manner you react to stuff, many thanks for the blog article it genuinely is great to see something smart now and then rather than the conventional rubbish disguised as blogs and forums around the internet.
