I've been fighting a flu for the past two weeks, and since then haven't touched caffeine because of how it makes my throat all raw and choke-y.

Today is the first day I feel relatively fine, I didn't oversleep (I work nights) and rose up with the glorious winter sun. Normally I'd be stumbling about, reaching for a heavy brew of the brown stuff staring into my phone, and stressing about the day to come.

This time it's different. I have energy, but not from the caffeine. I'm happy even, just drinking in the morning winter sun.

We'll see how long I last this time without caffeine, but for now I'm enjoying it

I wish I could snap my fingers and delete caffeine from my brain, because every time I've quit I start feeling that way. Yet I always go back sooner or later. This week I switched to half caf in my daily moka pot of espresso, and I'm definitely in withdrawal. Hope I can stick with it and get to where you're at.
