i was told to reduced my coffee intake by the specialist last month. and i had started off by abstaining it totally. it lasted about a week but it left me thinking about it and craving it. coffee had been a constant feature of my life since i was a little boy and to stop it altogether suddenly was not as easy as i had expected. that was not good.
so what i do now is, as far as i can i will not drink coffee. and when i feel the need (such as in the mornings), i will get a cup but i will only drink a mouthful or two. never a cup. i realised that when i do so, the craving stops. and i was able enjoy my routine as much as i could and at the same time gradually reduce my intake altogether. today, i can go without coffee easily. the cravings have disappeared even if i don't drink.
once again, i was reminded of the buddhist wisdom of living life in moderation and not in extremes.
i don't know why, but lately i have been drinking lots of black coffee, the freshly brewed ones at McD, there's one near the gym, and every single time i drive back home, i stop there to get freshly brewed coffee...
