I have sinned...

[ScreamingMeemie]

I have been a coffee drinking fool for the last two days after not drinking it for two weeks (just about). What can I say? :shrug: I tried. It's not good for me...or the Grumpy household...for me not to be drinking that pot a day. forgive me.

Have a good day everyone. I feel better now that I have gotten that off my chest.

1. Is that all? I thought maybe you went on a shopping spree at Wal-Mart!

Now that would be a sin.

[ScreamingMeemie]

3. That...I cannot bring myself to do...But, in the words of Jon Stewart

"$3.00 for a refrigerator?!?" ;) :hi:

[demnan]

2. I forgive ya Grumpy

:hi: (slurps coffee)

[ScreamingMeemie]

5. Want some more? I just made a second pot!

:hi:

4. It's your body

Your body, your health, you're not hurting anyone else. No need to apologize.

[ScreamingMeemie]

6. Yes, my irregular heartbeat, my headache...my...

It's fun to apologize. ;) :hi:

[Skittles]

7. well, I WOULD kick your ass

but alas, I have the same g.d. problem :(

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. It's awful to find yourself chained to a habit.

But, it could be worse...Thank you for sparing my ass. I need it today. :hi:

9. In as much

as all of us have wildly varying metabolisms, I'm compelled to report that my irregular hearbeat has completely been healed and my stress level has decreased miraculously by switching to "Good Earth's" green tea 4 months ago. It has lemon grass in it and is exquisite.

But I never even like coffee that much in the first place and used to put so much cream in it that I was known as "the ridiculously light lady" at several local coffee shops.

Different habits work for different folks.

Body wisdom is so important.

10. My irregular heartbeat was not caused by caffeine. I've got no other

vices...It's just horrid. On the whole, I felt no different without it, except for the crashing headaches. Strange. But I figure there is worse that I could be doing. :hi:

[stellanoir]

14. yeah

I typically never get headaches but I know what you mean about the headaches from caffeine withdrawal, that's why this time, I weaned myself with one cup of very weak Darjeeling (black) tea for two weeks, followed by two small pots of Green tea. Then I gave up the black tea entirely. I had no headaches at all but then again, green tea is not entirely caffeine free. The concentrations vary wildly, but it's tons milder.

11. Don't feel bad. It's an extremely powerful addiction.

That and Coca-Cola are the two hardest things to kick in my world. Right now I'm trying to kick Coke. I doubt I'll ever stop drinking coffee, unless my doctor tells me to for some very serious acute health reason.

:hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. Hey there cyber twin!!!! I've got the same problem with Coca Cola...

even though I shouldn't drink it. I cannot help myself. It could be worse. It could be Mountain Dew. ;) :hug:

[bertha katzenengel]

17. eeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww

What the hell is Mountain Dew anyway? I have an innate aversion to drinking yellow soda...

[ScreamingMeemie]

18. Me too. I think it is gross.

:hi:

[LynneSin]

12. Well, you'll be getting a suprise package in the mail soon...

..that should cheer you up!

[ScreamingMeemie]

16. I'm so excited!!

Package in the mail!!! :bounce:

Hey, we have yet to disagree on something this week. We'll have to work on that. ;)

[LynneSin]

24. I have a feeling after you get the package we will be agreeing on stuff

:D

[johnnie]

13. I'm glad I kicked the coffee

I have a cup every once in a while, but it is a long way from the 1 - 2 pots a day. I stick to green tea these days. But, I understand your pain.

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. I was doing really well there, and then one morning, in a groggy stupor,

I reached for the pot. :hi:

[shesemsmom]

19. I have to have my coffee too

what about Decafe? Can you drink that?

[ScreamingMeemie]

22. I tried mixing them half and half....but I just love the straight stuff.

:hi:

[fishnfla]

20. Its OK MrsG, but have you ever tried

Sugar Free Red Bull (kinda pricey) or green tea? I gave up coffee years ago (headaches, poor sleep patterns) and switched over to those.

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. No I haven't. I'll have to try it. I was drinking regular Earl Grey...

but it did nothing for me. :hi: Thanks!

[fishnfla]

25. Green tea beats all

Its a great appetite suppressant also. Try it! :hi:

[ImpeachBush]

26. It's only a sin if you're a mormon.

They consider coffee drinking a sin. I consider it a blessing.

[ScreamingMeemie]

27. I am really blessed this AM then.

:hi:
