Is too much coffee considered a relapse?
I am finding myself drinking lots of coffee for energy. One of my drugs of choice was adderall, for instant energy. It's not do to lack of sleep, or poor diet. I think exercise or something similiar could do the trick, but I find myself looking for an easier way. And I know too much caffiene causes ups and downs as well as other things that are not helping me with this issue.
My question is this - Considering my reasoning, would you consider drinking three to four cups of coffee a relapse? And why do I always seem to want to do something one way, when I know there is a better way? Can anyone relate?

if we (as a community, not you specifically) bandy the term relapse around too freely it loses meaning IMO.
I'd probably simplify the problem PK and remove the 'R' question - if you feel you're drinking too much coffee, or you feel you're drinking it to get some kind of high, then I'd step it back a little.
Too much of anything can be bad, especially stimulants.

I'll quote Dee on this one: Coffee has never wrecked havoc or destroyed any relationships in my life. Nor have I been bankrupted or thrown in jail because of it. Or has it caused debilitating or fatal health problems. And so on.
I drink about four cups in the morning. I consider it, especially as I sit here on my sofa on an early Saturday morning, sober and not hungover, one of my rewards to myself for fighting the good fight.
