I am a caffeine addict! I know I should cut back. I know the health issues it causes. I was recently lectured again concerning my caffeine intake. I'm one of those who stops for a cup of coffee on my way to work. I sometimes stop and get some more during the day. It is very easy to do with a coffee shop downstairs. I also supplement this with a few sodas through the day. But I really do love the smell and taste of coffee.
For Lent this year, I decided to go drastic and gave up coffee. For six weeks, I have had no morning brew in the morning to energize me, nor a late afternoon pick-me up. I have continued my soda intake, but it's not the same. People have said it wasn't a sacrifice since I didn't cut caffeine out. To them, I say, yes it was. The coffee smell from my coworkers morning java tempted me. Considering I have been severely lacking sleep in the past few weeks, this has been a large sacrifice for me.
Tomorrow, my plan is to have my first cup of coffee in weeks. I can't wait to savor the aroma and taste. My hope is to limit my intake to a few times a week. For those who said I could not accomplish this, well...hmm...who knew I had such willpower.
