Caffeine, I am addicted to caffeine and I am trying to get off it. My doc said I have to give it up because I have been vomiting and losing weight. Basically, I don’t eat in the morning, drink a bunch of diet coke and coffee and then that makes me get sick. The vomiting and stomach acid backing up into my esophagus is giving me ulcers on the lower part of my esophagus. So, I need to give it up for my health, but I am really struggling with it. Sometimes, I feel like I need a few cups of coffee just to calm my nerves. It seems like caffeine is not such a big scary drug, but it is a very real addiction for me. And why do I have to get addicted to everything that makes me feel a little good? Alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, caffeine…nothing is safe for me. Anybody else struggle with caffeine? Is it just me? Anybody else had to get off it?

I swear, there is a Starbucks on every corner.
