I'm tired of pretending to myself that excessive caffeine consumption isn't a part of all this.

The idea of NOT drinking coffee really stinks. I really enjoy coffee and even moreso the social aspect of it. It's an experience and a ritual that brings me together with friends. Hmm... again... all of these same statements were statements I made about alcohol....

Anyway, I do hope that unlike alcohol I can find a way to moderate. But I'm to the point that if I am unable, then this last drug also has to go. It's not worth it. I'm tired of accepting negative health and life consequences for the sake of any drug.
