Addiction Recovery Coaching, Professionals & Resources

Linda edits my writing and routinely reminds me to back-off. She says I can sound preachy when discussing personal lifestyle adjustments. She’s right, and I’ll ascribe this annoying tendency to my mechanical perspective on life which ruthlessly drags me to cut-to-the bone conclusions. So here’s the disclaimer for this three-part post: I don’t care if you drink coffee or not. I have nothing to sell you. It’s your life (and I say this without a shred of sarcasm). This topic personally intrigues me and some people have found my standpoint interesting so I am repeating it here. Therefore, for you deeply entrenched caffeine enthusiasts, consider cutting me some slack as I scratch this itch.

Or not! Whatever your stance, your feedback is welcome.

Yes, I know they’re not the same chemically but the reason for it, and the effects of it, are similar enough. Second, whatever your own relationship with caffeine (or lack thereof), maybe consider passing this on to someone you know who is overly caffeinated.  click here for the full article
