Alas

R.L. — 11/17/2004 7:22:13 AM (archived)

I gave up coffee nearly 8 months ago.... Prior to that I was a notorious Java junkie- starting every day with a large iced coffee with 2 shots of espresso added to it... add to that a few more cups during the day and you have a recipie for stomach problems and high blood pressure.

I didnt have the headaches that most people complain of when quitting caffeine, but the first few days were tough- not so much due to cravings but because I could NOT keep my eyes open during meetings...

My most caffinated years were when I was an undergraduate- there was a time I was going to the local cafe and ordering "Leo's crowbar" - that was (and I am NOT making this up) 7 shots of espresso served over ice...

As I am sure you can tell, giving up coffee has mellowed my posts out here on HZ... (Yes that is what we in the biz call self deprecating humor)
