I've been sitting down all of 4 minutes and already my resolve for no coffee is being tested.

You've got more guts than me, Tiny. I'm trying to do one coffee only per day, and drink more of the many teas I've collected in my kitchen. I usually have 2 in the morning and occasionally one in the afternoon.

a tea or 2 was the plan but it became pretty apparent that wasnt gonna cut it very quickly.

I've cut down to one a day recently. Don't really feel the difference, but once winter kicks in, it's going to be a struggle.

you sort of appreciate it more if its just one though.

I find the ritual more satisfying than the coffee.

However, this doesn't work with tea.

Even if I chose to have a second one, it's the occassion and circumstances rather than the brew.

not putting enough effort into your tea then.

As much as I love tea, it's always hot flavoured water to me.

Coffee is coffee though

Double shot this morning or I wouldn't have coped. Just need to make it through to this weekend for now!

true only 1 day left after this.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

The thought of no coffee has never entered my mind.

All morning all that went through my head is coffee coffee coffee coffee.
