A plea for forgiveness

Dear Caffeine,

I love you and I was wrong. Please take me back.

Sincerely,

Me

I have quit caffeine before, the best I've done is 2.5 years -- but there were extenuating medical circumstances.

As soon as those circumstances evaporate, so does the living without coffee.

It's so addictive and yet it's so easy to obtain. And inexpensive too...

No! You weren't wrong. We love you on the caffeine free side. Stay with us!!

I will survive. Am so tempted right now, though. Killer headache. Not helped by the Blue Angels practicing in the skies above (as opposed to the skies below).

Caffeine is your friend. Embrace the caffeine!

Maybe once a week, just so it doesn't feel bad I've abandoned it the other six. ;)

Dear Me,

You're going to have to do better than that, you ungrateful beast. I have so many others, it's not like I need you, you know.

Sniff,

Caffeine

Does anything in the world substitute for caffeine? I'm trying to think. I moderate my caffeine intake pretty carefully, but I don't think I'd try to eliminate it completely. It's got antioxidants, you know. ;)

It seems like everything has antioxidants these days. Limiting is good. I can drink decaf, which is never 100% caffeine-free, I don't think.

Oh, yeah, I'm just waiting for them to find anti-oxidants in cigarettes. :-D

They keep going back and forth on whether the caffeine in tea is better than the one in coffee or not, but I think mostly it depends what you're at risk for. I get deeply confused.
