> Good God I can't even imagine! Although I try to keep it down to a few cups of coffee in the morning, I'm completely addicted.

~ ~ I know!!! It's just a fluke that I started 'not having' tea! I've known for years that I drank WAYYYYYYYY too much tea. And for probably at least a couple of years I've had 2 or 3 extra-large teas a day! I'd say I'm addicted & I can't quite understand how it isn't way harder. I think the real real secret is that I only deal with NOT getting a tea ONE desire at a time!! In fact, I have never once really thought in my mind "I'm NOT having tea again." I would totally FREAK at that thought! Boy, our minds are powerful! ~ ~

Caffeine - so addictive yet so totally acceptable to society! Why one drug and not another? Life is odd.

~ ~ Yes! Isn't it amazing? I was talking to my son's (& our family's) mental health worker a few days ago & she knows how I'm addicted to tea! She was saying how very addictive caffeine is - she's addicted to it in various forms. During her training - specializing in addictions - they had to Stop something that they were addicted to for 1 week, to see how it feels & experience stopping an addiction. She said she stopped caffeine & it was awful - & caffeine is probably the most commonly used & accepted drug.

I actually don't think I could do it if I weren't only doing it one tea at a time. It's hard to go places for the first time that I would normally buy a tea on the way! Yikes.

Hugs to ya TC.

love, Kath
