The pull of my addiction

[fbhjr]

It is over half my life ago I gave up alcohol. I can’t deny there are
plenty of times I’m tempted to fall off of that wagon. But, so far I have
not had any trouble staying on.

But, this week I have been tempted by my other addiction.
I miss caffeine.
It’s been 27 ½ years since I gave up alcohol. But, it’s only been 3 since
I gave up caffeine.
And, on cold, wet weeks like this when work is not going well and I’m not
getting much sleep?
It is very hard not to reach for a cup of tea or a diet soda.

Do you drink tea?

Some caffeine free ones.

Can I ask, Is it healthwise that you stopped using caffeine?

I just know you can resist that cup!
*hands you a glass of milk*

I'm allergic to milk. Sorry.

The caffeine was eating at my stomach lining and my doctor told me to stop.

Hm... *thinks* ... a freshly pressed juice perhaps?


Auwtsj.. yeah, than the doc was right in making you stop.

Why did you quit caffeine?

Stomach problems.
