An Addict

I have been trying to quit drinking coffee for over a month now, like a cigarette smoker on their last pack, everyday I have my last cup. Its depressing and frustrating. I am quitting for health reasons, but not the usual 'coffee addiction is bad for you blah-da-bi-blah". I need to stop drinking it because coffee gives me headaches. Throbbing, balloon-face, hit-your-head-against-something-made-of-concrete HEADACHES. Once I thought it was caffeine, so I switched to decaf, that didn't help. Then I thought maybe it was the combo with sugar, so I stopped putting sugar in my coffee, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Sugarless coffee is even better. But no, I am still getting headaches, and they are worse. I love coffee. I love its wonderful taste. Its warm yumminess. I don't even care if I am addicted, I don't need the caffeine jolt. I love decaf just the same. I am addicted to coffee because it is my friend. oh sadness.

This morning when I woke up I drank a BIIIG glass of water. I am thinking that killing the nighttime dehydration would be a good place to start. Unfortunately there is no hydration for my lonely coffee-less heart.
