thank you Jules and Jost for your kind suggestions
It was SOOOO hard to get up this am, but here I am.
I think I can keep Yerba Mate under control. I have an abundant supply of this. The kind I have is pretty bitter, which makes it hard to keep on guzzling, like sweet milky coffee.
I have so much tea that I shouldn't even be tempted by coffee... and yet?
Kind of frightening, really. Despite a 4 oz cup of coffee and green tea ingested throughout the day yesterday, I still had caffeine withdrawal. That's kind of crazy.
I think perhaps this afternoon I will go and buy a coffee. 12 oz of decaf, and see how it makes me feel. If I can get happy happy feeling without the tremors, this might be a win-win.
At any rate, I calculated that I was ingesting at least 500mg of caffeine most days for the last month or so. 80% of that from coffee.
Oh well... all of you folks who have more self-control and are not as silly as I was to allow myself to build up so much tolerance to caffeine- Think of me when you wake up and smell the coffee :(
For today, I'll brew a pot of Mate, and then some green tea. I've already had my 3oz of coffee with skim milk.
Thank you for your kind thoughts
