hey there, this is my first post, i was reading about coffee addiction and something somewhere mentioned that u should write down how much u drank coffee and how it effects you, so i decided to write it down on notepad, i developed abit of a story from it and discovered this forum, so thought i'd come and seek solitude in fellow coffee addicts!!
im a 29 year old male and im addicted to coffee, hardcore.. i really feel like i cant function without it, i need it to wake up with it, i probably drink 3 cups within the first hour of drinking, i always put in at least 2 heavily heaped spoon fulls in my cup, sometimes in the morning when u get that jet lagged feeling, its 4 big heaps!!! im at that point where i cant sleep properly at night, i drink a minimum of 15 cups a day, possibly 20, seriously i'd say even more on some days, no joke. ive been like this constantly for the past 5-6 years i'd say, a coffee junkie!! before that i'd drink maybe 2-3 and drink juice and tea and herbal tea aswell.
when i used to drive to and from work, i'd make sure i'll have a beaker type flask full of coffee to drive with... i drink cups of coffee one after another constantly, from the minute i wake up to the moment i finally fall asleep. sometimes at night when i cant sleep, i'll keep on making cup after cup, sometimes i make a cup of coffee and make a big flask too so i can drink 3 cups without faffing around filling up the kettle and waiting to make a drink. waiting for the kettle to boil actually gets me mad as its taking precious coffee drinking time away from me.
its affecting my concentration and making me agitated, sometimes i cant sit still, sometimes i buzz my head off, kind a like that tweak kid on south park lmfao, but i don't see the underpant gnomes!! (not yet anyway) if i dont have one for a short while, i get depressed... i know its due to the lack of sleep, but my caffeine intake is the cause of my lack of sleep.
when i go out and meet the mrs i feel lethargic and irritated and sometimes have a mardy at her over nothing, irritable, she's been absolutely fantastic since she came into my life, as i was on bail not knowing if i could have been sent away when we got together, she is my rock, truely sensational and one of those women who you could instantly know is a keeper. we got engaged after two weeks because she was a hand to my glove and i am the applicator to her mascra (lol) it was an instant connection, so much in common, the same dreams, the same interest's, the same ideal holidays and the same morals and traditions, and trust me, we are the perfect match, i mention this as its because of how im getting with my caffiene intake that is affecting how i can be with her. its because of her that i acknowledge my coffee intake is getting out of control.
lately i been drinking coffee like a mad man, pounding it into me like alcoholic downs a bottle of liquor, but i try and play it down, she doesnt realise why i get so irrated and agitated and get down like i do or why i let it happen. when i have to go without that beautiful brown liquid, i get down and depressed alot which is not like my usual self, im normally an upbeat, laidback, never take life too serious type of guy and when shit happens i end up turning into a whining kid cuz im down so much.
i know that my moods and everything i have described is down to my caffiene intake as towards the start of this year i drank herbal tea and cut out the coffee for around 6 weeks, after the first week was out of the way, i felt so alive, so peaceful, able to get a good sleep. waking up with a cheshire cat style grin on my face, but for some reason i ended up hitting the coffee harder than before. i missed the taste, i did try caffeine free coffee a few times, but thats like buying fireworks on november 5th, setting them alight and watching them just burn because there's no gunpowder in them.
not too long ago my mrs went to stay at her sisters to look after her house whilst she and her fella went away for the week, i drank a mega amount of coffee all day untill i was ready to travel to her sisters house, and i just ended up feeling rough, tired and irratable, i had no coffee when i was there that first night and i upset my mrs over nothing really.... afterwards i thought why the hell have i acted like this again??? during my break from the coffee we were so loved up and happy, we never had any sort of conflict or disagreement.
the following day i drank only one coffee in the morning and was craving for another in the same way a chain smoker craves a smoke, but i didnt have one as im not in my house and i wont be rude and just get up and just help myself. she said something and i took it the wrong way because of my irritable mood and we argued, its sad as now she's not my fiance, although im lucky she still is my mrs, everything is ok right now and soon we shall get back to where we were, but i been a twat cuz of the moods, i've realised how irritated and misrable and grumpy i can get ever since i got obsessed with coffee all those years ago with everybody or anything, well before i met my mrs, i guess cuz i hate being mardy and grumpy to her now and again that i realize that i do actually have a problem with it......
im not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but ive took stock of everything and narrowed everything down to coffee and caffiene and my dirty lust for it...... i need to quit, and i will quit, it is a drug to me, it can alter the way i act, the way i react and the way i think like illegal drugs can. remember that different drugs effect different people in differents ways, im not here to antagonize anbody else's love for coffee, or preach about its a sin to be addicted to coffee, i just wanted to share my story about my experience with the dirty sexy coffee grrrrr...
i thought id come here and share this cuz ive openly talked about this to my parents and a couple of mates and they really think im talking out of my arse, so i figured that only fellow coffee addicts would be able to understand what im talking about, and i feel like a complete twat telling my mrs that its the coffee that makes me so mardy at her sometimes, she'll probably laugh at me and call for the men in white coats to collect me on a one way trip lol.......
they always say when you over indulgde in anything it is unhealthy and dangerous... for me, coffee is no different if u develop a hardcore craving for it like i did, and before you know it, you become a slave to it... everything i have said is my real life and 100% true... im gonna go cold turkey and get back on the herbal tea's in the morning, but first im gonna drink my last 2-3 cups of coffe, because it would be a shame not to have closure...
