As my friends know, I have been a little addicted to caffeine for several years. And by “a little addicted,” I mean I get the.worst.headache.ever. if I don’t get my morning cup o’ joe. I’m not one of those drink-a-whole-pot-by-myself kind of people, just one mug worth is all I require, and I’m good for the day. But, that one mug worth must be delivered to my system within a few hours of waking up, otherwise the headache starts kicking in.

Caffeine isn’t the worst of addictions, for sure, but I figured I now would be a good time to kick it. So a few weeks ago, I started gradually reducing the size of my morning cuppa, little by little, until last week I was down to one inch of coffee. And no headaches.

Yesterday, I had one sip of coffee before heading out the door to work.

Today is my first day sans cafe’. We’ll see how I do. So far I’m feeling bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, and I’m crossing all digits that my head doesn’t decide to punish me for taking away the very last sip of sweet caffeinated bliss.

I’ll let you know how it goes!

Update: Success with day 1 sans cafffeine! No headache, no tired feeling! Hurrah!
