I feel so at home with this thread. Not only am I addicted, but I CANNOT have anything other than Starbucks... I actually can't function or communicate without my first cup each morning!
You could try guarana, and ditch the coffee altogether. May well have the same side effects, but you wont know till you try it. In the morning, i have to keep having cups until i make one thats juuuust right.
people like the idea of cold turkey, but it can be ridiculously hard to do. that's why when i break up with girlfriends that i still like, i try to do it "cold turkey" instead of letting things dwindle.. because i know it will be hard for them to not come back to me.
I didn't start drinking coffee until I was in my 30's. I wish I would of drank it during my college years. I probably would of gotten better grades and been more alert and attentive. Today I drink only 1 big cup in the morning (about 16 fl oz.) that usually is sufficient for most of the day. The summer time is kind of bad to drink hot coffee since its makes you hot and sweaty. The best time to drink coffee is during the winter. Do most people put cream and sugar in their coffee or is that for pansies?
the cure? only drink the highest quality vodka. Hang-overs are products of impurities in the alcohol. Need Proof? Drink rail drinks all night. Write down the results. Next night, drink only the finest quality vodka. Note the differences.
maybe i wasn't clear. the idea is to force "cold turkey" on HER so that after the break up, the girl strongly feels the need to be with you again. if you let the relationship slowly dwindle down to nothing instead, when it is failing, that's like easing off an addiction. she may not feel the need to be with you again as strongly. this is just my theory. anyway i know this is way off topic so i'll stop....
