Maybe you should wean yourself off then. I would hate to feel like a slave to a substance. Perhaps start with cutting out the soda, that’s probably what’s causing the physical dependence.
I personally rarely have caffeine. I sleep pretty well, so I’m not that tired in the morning (I don’t even use an alarm). I think people use caffeine to cover up bad habits, and that often feeds back on itself and leads to dependence.
You’re right I’m sure. I should wean myself off. I started drinking coffee (very weak with milk) when I was about eight and I’m 65 now - so, maybe too late to quit?
And I don’t really drink that much soda, I have a half glass of diet coke (and some water) after lunch and then water until dinner time, then another half glass of diet coke until I switch back to water again around 8:00pm.
If I were a drinker, like everyone else in my family, I’d probably forgo the soda and just have bourbon - I love that stuff, but my body can’t process alcohol so I just always went the diet Coke route.
