I’ve got the caffeine monkey off my back! I’ve been clean for 10 days. It’s pretty cool; I can sleep better. However, I can’t always wake up once I’ve gotten up. Luckily, I’ve been closing mostly at work, which means I can sleep late–I can’t really sleep unless I’m in bed for about 10 hours. Then I can sleep in fits and starts for about 7, which works pretty well. The lack of caffeine is really helping! It’s also saving me money, since I don’t always have time to make coffee or tea at home–Twin Donut and Dunkin Donuts have been getting way too much of my hard-earned kizzash! What’s more, I don’t get those 4:30 headaches that mean that I haven’t had enough caffeine and have to scramble to find some. Also, once I start, I build up tolerance to it really quickly, so before you know it, I’m practically mainlining tea straight out of the bags to get my fix. Awww yeah maaan, I neeeed just one more hit of Earl Greyyy… It was almost like something out of Trainspotting… minus Ewan McGregor, unfortunately.
