Quitting coffee: day 488

I quit coffee more than a year ago quitting coffee. The abstinance lasted for a whole year before I succumbed to the lure of European coffee while I was backpacking through Morocco. I gotta give them credit for the coffee that they drink though. It was both more intense and better tasting. I don’t feel like crap after drinking a cup and I don’t feel like I was addicted at all. It was just there, every morning as normal as waking up and brushing your teeth.

Today, I am officially back on coffee and I do not feel bad at all. I have tasted the addicted world and I have alos tasted what being clean means. I can judge the situation in order to decide whether or not I should drink coffee. I treat it like a stimpack for marines in Starcraft. An option to incrase your abilities at the cost of your health.

Headaches, twitching blood dry eyes and insomnia are all part of the side effect for me and because I understand that fact, I don’t use it unless it’s necessary. I always make sure that I am not on cofee for a long period of time (Like any drugs, effect wears off with body’s resistance buildup) while blocking a whole month afterwards to cleanse my system.

For now, it is needed, but I can feel that I am already at the limit with 1 week of constant consumption. Maybe I need to take a break from this secret project of mine and refocus. I am running around wearing myself out without any results showing.
