I certainly don’t need any illegal and pricey drugs? My drug of choice is caffeine. I really didn’t think much about it until my Doctor recently told me that I should go without caffeine. I thought it would be easy. Well, let me tell you that it isn’t. This is my 10th day of being caffeine free, but it is definately my toughest day so far. Last week, I was on holidays, and didn’t even think of coffee until I drove past a Tim Horton’s. Today is my first day back to work, after my vacation. I sit within smelling distance of the coffee machine here. When the fresh pots are being brewed, I start salivating. I try to convince myself that I would rather have water, but who am I kidding. I want coffee. Let me rephrase that: I NEED COFFEE. It is now a force that is controling my life. With my web research, I have discovered that there is no such thing as caffeine free. All of these so called decaffeinated products still contain small amounts of caffeine in their contents. Tim Horton’s has an easy to read listing of caffeine content, so at least I can chose the lesser of the evils. I have decided that it is unhealthy for me to quit caffeine cold turkey, and have decided on the decaf route. I can easily forgo the other caffeine laced treats like sodas, chocolate and teas. Some prescription drugs even contain caffeine. In the end, all is can say is make mine a “Large Decaf with 1 milk & 1/2 a sugar“.
