So yeah, I used to drink coffee every morning. It wasn’t much. It was one travel mug full. And it was only in the morning.

But… I found that if I _didn’t_ have it, I would have a headache by 10 AM. Everytime, without fail, I would get a headache if I didn’t have my coffee in the morning. I decided at some point that it would be a good idea to quit drinking it, but I didn’t want to have a headache for a week while I got over my addiction.

Well, my problem was solved for me. See, I got sick - so sick that coffee was the least appealing thing to me. And I was sick for long enough and on enough pain-killers that I didn’t even notice a simple headache from lack of caffeine.

Once I was off the painkillers, I realized that I was no longer getting headaches from *not* having coffee. I was no longer addicted! I decided then and there that I would not fall back into that situation again, so I almost never have coffee anymore.

No, I’m not against it. And yes, I’ll often have it on Saturday morning, and even sometimes at work, but it’s no longer something that I *need*. No longer something my body reacts to not having. I have overcome.

Just thought I’d share.
