((((hugs)))) I'm glad you can see the difference between drugged on caffeine and not. If you find a suitable drink to substitute in those meetings, let me know! Actually, strong ginger or green tea (hot) works for me. I think it's the habit of sitting and "comforting" a hot mug while discussing things is what many people are also hooked on.

Keep up the good work!

BTW as I moved about the country in the past, I also joined churches that were "de-caffed." I didn't want the ones who preached it was a drug and all that, but ones that just knew it was not good for the body, and didn't serve it.
