Coffee-free me: it's all in the mind now

Published on January 15, 2005 By Ravenblack In Life Journals

I haven't had coffee at all since my last blog and I'm feeling fine.

I seem to be sleeping better these past nights, so maybe the coffee habit was the main cause of my chronic insomnia all along. In the day time, I pretty much feel the same as when I do take coffee but I don't feel as grouchy somehow.

I am free. But at the back of my mind, I still seem to want that cup of coffee. The urge is there, so I guess it does take longer to get off it mentally.

I quit smoking ,after nearly twenty plus years of it, in April of 1998. Almost seven years ago. While I'm SO glad I stuck with it and get along fantastic I still have the occasional dream. Wierd...

I too was once on the coffee addiction train. But I have since ridded myself of the need to have it each and every morning. I noticed that it was the idea of having it that made me want it. I was making it and not even drinking it. I treat myself to it every nice in a while on Sunday morning. It makes it more special. Like a weekend treat.
But enough of my ramblings.

Congratulations raven. I know it was hard for you to do.....Bravo!

That's a nice way to treat yourself, Brenda.

oh my gosh I feel like such a ninny. I did not realize that I had put "nice" in there instead of "Once".
spell check has a purpose after all.

I didn't really notice it, which is quite telling of how I read things sometimes.
