So the last few jobs I've had all had free coffee. Half-decent stuff to boot. I drank a TON of it. Like, almost a cup an hour for every hour I was there. Really fogged up memory, made it hard to concentrate, work was suffering, etc...
Then I would quit cold turkey. Like Whole Paradigm I was rewarded for this choice by a 4-5 day long terrible headache. Really opens your eyes to see exactly how addicted you were when you start going through withdraw symptoms...
Eventually I'd end up drinking it again a few weeks later or whatever - a glass a day or what have you. Without noticing I'd find myself with a coffee in hand almost constantly again. Damnation...
This last month I've had a very positive change - I have a SINGLE coffee in the morning and then drink water for the rest of the day. So far no crash and the jitters/scatter-brain are gone. I think this will be my modus operandi going forward.
