The no caffeine thing

So I don't have a problem with drinking caffeine the way some Mormons do.  To me caffeine is just like video games or any other thing that can be harmless but in excessive amounts becomes addicting and can control certain aspects of your life. All things in moderation.

I honestly can't remember the last time I made a resolution, much less kept one, so i'm really stubborn on this one and I'm going to make it count.  I started on January 4th and have not had a drop of caffeine since no matter how much I have craved diet dr. pepper or how tempting all the free diet coke and work can be.  I'll let you know how it's going. Right now the goal is a month but I'll probably expand it from there to two months and so on and so forth. Wish me luck!

  2. Good luck with the no caffeine.

    My family is one of those no caffeine at all families, though my parents were fine if we went and bought our own caffeinated sodas as teenagers. And I did buy them occasionally. Luckily I have never been addicted to it.
    I hardly even have any soda anymore. Tap water is cheaper. If we want to be fancy we drink Kool-aid. (Actually we drink the knock-off koolaid brand because thats even cheaper).

    So yeah, good luck with your caffeine fast. Hopefully you'll be able to drink it in non-addictive moderation when you're done.
