Learn From Me: I Have Overcome

As of today, I've broken the bonds of addiction, single-handedly! 

I've gone a MONTH without coffee!*

I was addicted to it.  I drank a pot -- a pot! -- every day before 9 a.m.  I felt, quite literally, that I couldn't function in the morning without it, that I couldn't possibly be a good on-air personality without it, that I couldn't live without it.**

I'd been a coffee-guzzler for years.  Then, I quit, cold-turkey!  From non-stop, "Where's my next coffee going to come from?" to absolute zero!***

It felt great!  I did it via my own steely will!  I was cheered on by my radio listeners, and congratulated by health enthusiasts!****

Beset with addictions?  Be like me.  I, Brant Hansen, am a strong man.  Addictions?  Buh-bye.  There's a new sheriff in town!  Sheriff Me!*****

----------

* -- This piece was written on Thursday.  I gave up and went back to sweet, sweet, precious, life-giving coffee today.

** -- Turns out I can't function in the morning without it, can't be a good on-air personality without it, and can't, in fact, live without it.

*** -- ...and back to, "Where's my next coffee coming from?"

**** --  Who won't speak to me anymore.

*****-- I have the right to remain silent.

Hi, although, I needed, just one large mug full of coffee, verses apot. I need it , to get me going, in the am, to drive off to work. I now try to limit, mself to maybe a few cups a week. Coffe is good and bad, I am a nurse, who reads alot, about nutrition. Coffee raises the Dopamine in our brains, ie the "Feel Good center". If I have a foggy brain, in the am, one cup of coffee, will clear my head. Coffee has antioxidants and in moderation, it is OK, in my book. Pam Miller

OOPs, I should have checked my spelling first, before posting !, Sorry for the typo errors! I miss having a coffee every morning verses a few times a week ! I just love the smell and taste of it ! I probably should not ask, but has anyone tried Mcdonald's premium blend? I love it ! I use to demonstrate coffee as a little part time side job. I can't say, that I could give up coffee .
