Coffee Detox

Anyone who knows me knows that I love live for coffee. Some (including me) might even say that I am quite dependent on it. I once stopped drinking coffee cold turkey for five days and thought my brain was trying to crawl out of my skull through my eyeballs.

So, now I am trying to do this in order to prepare for a necessary upcoming medical procedure. The difference is that, this time I will be doing it s-l-o-w-l-y!

Saturday I started step one: downgrade from a Venti (26 oz cup) to a Grande (16 oz). I did this over the weekend to ensure I wouldn't be debilitated by a migraine in the middle of the week. Surprisingly? not that bad. Felt a tiny bit sluggish this morning, but not too bad.

Step two is on my calendar for July 11th: downgrade from a Grande (16 oz) to a Tall (12 oz).

Step three will probably either consist of ordering a tall and then pouring it out slowly every few weeks, or going to "half caff". Even the idea breaks my heart a little, but it's necessary.

Hopefully my decaffeination nation plan will work!
