Saturna

i stopped drinking coffee.

my friends and family cannot believe it. they are shocked.

i thought i had a kidney infection over the weekend, so i just stopped, started herbal infusions and cranberry concentrate and tons of water.

and i just have not started back.

mainly because i feel like i am walking around on a valium drip, thinking, why was i doing that to myself? literally, i have been drinking coffee like i should be drinking water - for a long time. not to mention spending a lot of my time being stressed out. in four days, i feel so much better, and no caffeine withdrawal headache.

i am not saying, "i will never drink coffee again." but it is nice to let go of one more thing i thought was necessary. very freeing. choices feel a whole lot better than compulsions.
