Jumbo Coffee

So yeah, I thought I could do it. But I was wrong.
This morning I woke up feeling pretty good despite the little sleep I'd had and the alcohol of the night before. And I was feeling so good, in fact, that I thought I could skip my morning coffee. Can you imagine? The sheer arrogance of this thought. Like, I'm too good for coffee or something. Jesus.
But I thought it wouldn't be so bad, I really did. I didn't feel the need to have any right then and I had lots of fruit juice, so I figured why put on some coffee as well? Surely, I can go a day without.
I'm disappointed with myself. I should know by now what I can and can't do. And I definitely can't go without any coffee.
Good lord. I was alright about half the day, really, I was quite pleased with how I had coped with the situation.
But around lunch time, I got this horrible headache that felt like my head might split in two.
Withdrawal, I believe.
Coffee withdrawal and I are well-acquainted. I tried (and succeeded, briefly) to give it up fully some years ago for an acne treatment. And I had the same horrible, crippling headaches then as well.
Really, I guess I should've had some coffee with my lunch, but then I figured most restaurant coffee is crap anyway and I would be home in a couple of hours anyway, so I might as well wait till then.

Bad idea. When I got home, my head was throbbing and I put the coffee on as soon as I came through the door. It was horrible. I sat glued to my sit on the bus for fear I might fall over or kill someone from how bad my head was.
I was much better after coffee, but it still took me some time to get over the headache. Not doing that again. Ever.

I mean what's the sense? We have a great relationship, coffee and me, why try to rock the boat?
I know what you might be thinking, that's not good to have a coffee addiction and blah blah blah. Well, I'm not one of those strange people who claim coffee is bad for you. That is sacrilege and while I accept you're free to say so, I am also free to stone you for doing so.

And besides, it could be so much worse. It could be drugs. Or alcohol. But then, I wouldn't try to go without that.

Anyway, that's all for my coffee fueled rant. Until next time, coffee beans.
