And then there was Caffeine...

Ok, I've had signs all around but never realized that coffee is a huge part of my life. I came across a flyer on my fridge that has been there for God knows how long and I've never read it, I have a feeling one of my sisters put it there as a sign. As with anything I come across, and need more research, I googled it and found various derivations of that caffeine Addicts prayer:

~The Joy Of Coffee~

Caffeine is my shepherd; I shall not doze.
It maketh me to wake in Bliss:
It leadeth me beyond the sleeping masses.
It restoreth my buzz:
It leadeth me in the paths of consciousness for its name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of addiction,
I will fear no Decaf:

For thou art with me;

Thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me.
Thou preparest a tall latte before me in the presence of fatigue:
Thou anointest my day with pep;

My mug runneth over.
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the House of Juan Valdez forever.

I found a couple points that hit home;

- it’s 6:09 AM and you’re on your 2nd 20oz. cup of coffee.

- Instant coffee takes too long.

- You don't sweat, you percolate.

- You can outlast the Energizer bunny.

- Your eyes stay open when you sneeze.

- You want to be cremated just so you can spend eternity in a coffee can.

- You’ve worn out the handles on your favorite mug.

- Your lips are permanently stuck in the sipping position.

And my favorite is; You have to drink some form of caffeinated beverage just to sleep.

I knew i had issues with coffee when I found myself actually thinking of licking the coffee pot, and worst of all, I've actually carried a coffee mug into the shower in the morning, on multiple occasions.

Quick self test that separates the coffee drinkers and the caffeine addicts:

- Can you Smell (not taste) the difference between a regular coffee and a decaf cup?
