Meta comment: 7 hours in on the post, and the first 25 comments on a posting about giving up an addiction are by folks saying how the “drug” is actually great and even better if you get the right stuff. You have to get past those comments to get a few comments about how someone also had a positive experience quitting, then a post about a “contrarian” supporting the drug again.
Don’t know how to interpret this: defensiveness by addicts, “Big Coffee” trying to do damage control, etc.. I know what I would think if this was about quitting a fentanyl addiction…
The 3-4 times a month I drink coffee (and I do drink the good stuff without obsessing), I make it at home almost as a psychological diagnostic. If it makes me sleepy, then I know things are just fine body-mind wise. If it charges me up, then I’m under more stress than I’d like (as a baseline). OK if I’ve got some early morning physical work to do, not OK otherwise.
