Caffeine - My Bittersweet Drug

Dearest Caffeine,

I can't stop thinking of you. When I wake up in the morning you are the first thing I think of. By the afternoon your powerful effects on me start to dwindle and I need more of you. I just can't seem to get enough. You are never more then a few feet away and you posses a stronghold on me. I'm sorry I'm not doing this in person, but I'm breaking up with you. Caffeine please don't call me. It's over ....

Ha, but seriously. I didn't think I was addicted, but now I'm starting to have second thoughts. I don't know if it's a true addiction or I just like the taste. I'm not going to cut cold turkey, but I'm going to try to cut down on my caffeine intake. First off, no more Mt Dew at work. Today is my first day trying it and so far I've been able to hold on strong. It's been very tempting though. I'm trying to look at this long term. I'm sure there will be plenty of health benefits. Plus it should give me that extra boost I'll need for Aconcagua and Everest. We'll see how long this lasts .... Hopefully I can stay strong.

Your fellow caffeine addict,
Jason
