day 4 - coffee withdrawal syndrome

i'm a coffee addict. see? declaring your illness (in my case addiction to coffee), is the first step of healing.

it all started when i started working. in my mind, coffee is the perfect stimulant and a great way to start a day. and since the habit has been ingrained for more than two years, its very difficult to shoo away.

i started seeing the effect of coffee because sometimes its too difficult to monitor water intake and resulted in my skin being very dry. to make it worst, my skin is already easily irritable and the result is not pretty.

hence, i make it a point to stop taking caffeine this year.

omg, this is not easy. moi without coffee is cranky, grumpy and just moody. this is not easy. walking to the pantry sans-coffee felt weird. i kind of lost myself a bit (yah me being the drama queen). but seriously, i keep thinking about coffee.

i keep having cravings throughout the day. my mouth is full of saliva when i think of coffee (i'm actually drooling right now, trying hard not to drool all over the keyboard). and i nearly, literally jumped at every chocolate i see.

if this is how someone goes through when they stop smoking, gosh this is not easy.
