Quitting Coffee

As a current and perhaps soon to be former employee of a coffee shop, I have seen both the positive and the negative effects of the drug known as caffeine. Some people seem more chipper and productive when they use it, but the drop off is too precipitous and they turn into depressed angry people only an hour or two later. Personally, I have determined that drinking that kind of stuff is counterproductive in the long run, as I've detailed in my article, "Quitting Coffee."

The first month that I gave up coffee for good was pretty rough. I definitely felt some symptoms of withdrawal even though I hadn't been having that much coffee previously. Each successive month has been like lifting another layer that was dimming my clarity. I have felt better and more "with it" ever since and I want to give other people the opportunity to experience this feeling as well.

Try it for 2 months. Write a journal about how you feel the first week and compare it with how you feel the last week. I promise you that there will be quite a difference.
