That's a LOT to deal with, period; but it's only exaggerated by the stress of trying to quit at the same time.Actually, it's not a bad situation. It's really something that she wants ta' do because she doesn't feel like taking care of a house anymore. It's not something that's being done because of severe health issues or anything like that. She just wants ta' be catered to, and be around people her age that she can socialize with, and not be cooped up in a house by herself. So I have ta' try and make that happen for her. I've got half the situation taken care of, I just gotta' take care of the other half. I-468

Well congrats to all who have licked their bad addiction or are engaged in battle but not giving up... This is my third week (I think) without coffee. I do drink tea and still pop caffeine pills twice a day (100 mg per pill = about 1 cup of coffee)... Functioning without caffeine, at least in the morning, doesn't seem possible.BTW, I did try a new Folger's low-acid coffee called "Simply Smooth" (3 days, 1 cup in the morning), but really didn't like it. It tasted kinda wimpy to me. So, back to no coffee. I drink Crystal Light with breakfast! Casey

Way ta' go Case! It's funny, I never got addicted ta' caffeine like I did cigarettes. Whenever I'm doin' the 9 ta' 5 thing, I always end up drinkin' coffee for breakfast. But when I'm not doin' the 9 ta' 5 thing, I don't even bother with coffee. I've been home for over a year now, and I've never once bothered ta' make myself a cup of coffee. I have gone to Dunkin' Donuts on several different occassions and gotten myself a large coffee, but I usually don't seek it unless I'm goin' ta' work in the morning. I think, for me, it's just a wake-me-up tonic, which is probably why I don't go after it constantly. perhaps that's a good thing though. One less addiction ta' worry about huh?I-468

Congrats to you on doing so great!Well, no choice heah but to cut down, couldn't breathe! LOLPo' Bmete, he got the tail end of the kicker on this one jazz tune we were workin' on. Jes couldn't quite get my breath which isn't surprising since it was a breathy jazz thing. Came out breathy alright, lol, but I had to go lay down after it was done. For a week.
