Attention all you coffee lovers

[~candice~]

Hubby learned quickly that I am good for nothing till I get a cup of black java. Without one I just drift back to sleep, and have done so since my early teens. This means that I never woke completely up before 10 AM without that 1-2 cups of coffee that I began consuming at age 19. I don't usually want any when I am sick, so I just sleep most of the day. Have never had an side effects or withdrawal symptoms.

You don't have the withdrawals until you have been without it a day of two.The headaches can be pretty bad.

Hey sis. Can you give advice to people like me who need to cut down on their caffeine intake?

Well,you need to wean yourself from the stuff.Don't cut it out completely because then you will have the headaches.You might go half decaf and half regular for a week and see how you feel.Their is some pretty decent decaf out there.If you are still getting the headaches then add alittle more of the regular stuff.Just kind of play around with it like that.After a week and the 1/2 and 1/2 is working then add more decaf than regular.

thanks sis

im at about 4 or 5 cups a day at the moment and I want to be to one at the end of the year

Good goal to have.Are you a tea drinker or do you like tea?

like any drug those who use it daily do not get many of the effects that a first timer will have, as a long time coffee drinker, I can drink a whole pot of coffee and go to sleep, its just hot drink that one aquires a taste for

I heard a story once about Billy Graham when he and Ruth went to Europe for a conference of Evangelical Preachers....the first night they arrived there were about 5 couples at this huge table....Billy and Ruth were exhausted from their trip and before their meal they ordered a cup of coffee...the European Evangelicals were appalled...they told them all about the addictive qualities of coffee and how drinking coffee can master you and thus is so sinful. They could not believe Billy Graham was a coffee drinker.

 

Needless to say they explained that they did not agree and drank their coffee anyway...minutes later the waiter came back to get their orders and almost every pastor and many of the wives ordered beer as their beverage (!!!)...jus say'n...anything can pose a problem if we do too much (do all things in moderation) and really nothing the Lord has created is evil in and of itself, but isn't it funny how we view each other for the things we approve of and how much culture plays a role in how we see things? I love coffee also...I really do like the flavor and the aroma and even have thanked God on occasion when it was needed and there it was.

 

In His love

Hmmm....that sounds kind of hypocritical on their part.
