ive been feeling really low all week. i took tuesday off and just slept. ive really just been waiting for the sickness to rear its phlemmy head.
but it has not. i have remained heavy in mind and body, with no other symptoms to speak of, except perhaps a case of the malaise.
today, i had a cup of joe, and BOOM, i feel much ameliorated, enlivened, magipercolated, spectinternized and generally smotamalous. So now im wondering if it was all caffene withdrawl. I havent really had any in a week, except for just now. and if it was that, then what now? on one hand it makes me want to use the stuff, but it also makes me want to do the opposite of that.

hi jordan, its jason. first of all i can't believe that you unknowingly let yourself reach caffeine withdrawl. usually the mind/body's very perceptive about its addictions.
second, what is the reason for not wanting to use coffee, especially after it made you feel so much better? you didn't seem to have any qualms about chuggin all that DVC. the way i see it, the general problem with addiction is that it eventually interferes with a normal, productive life. caffeine won't cause this problem because a) it generally helps productivity, and b) its everywhere, so obtaining it won't cause you to waste time or put yourself in compromising, illegal situations.
coffee is one of god's great gifts to mankind. don't look a gift horse in the mouth too much. drink up, as long as it works for you, and if you're concerned about being too addicted to coffee- its pretty easy to rehab yourself. i have a program i've developed over the years, i'm happy to share it if you need.
are you addicted to the post button? har.
well im drinking coffee this morning and things are going swimmingly. I appreciate the advice. i know it was ok when it was temporary and for a purpose, but i don't want to get stuck with it. i think the answer is to resume drinking the stuff but moderately, and perhaps that's obvious.
the way i went 6 days without virtually any caffeine is kind of interesting. I got completely drunk friday night. I was puking on a san diego lawn and would have been woken up by the sprinklers had it not been for a helpful friend. I was throwing up all morning as too. My stomach was impacted so I stopped drinking coffee or soda through the weekend.
By monday i felt like i was getting sick, and friends from san diego had come down with the flu. I started downing water and stayed away from the caffeine to keep my immune system up. viola, misdiagnosed caffeine withdrawal.
