Two weeks of weaning. A relationship that started ages ago. Slow at the beginning but got quite serious after a few years. That's when we hit it off.
My relationship with coffee is on a break. Someone challenged me and I realised I've never stopped my coffee intake. Except during times of an odd tummy bug, but otherwise I've provided my body with caffeine for the last twenty plus years.
So how long does it take before you stop thinking about the lovely taste of a perfectly made latte? I'm still to find out. Although my body is probably free from caffeine, my mind isn't free from the longing of everything that comes with that latte. It's so much more than caffeine. Somehow a cup of tea doesn't provide the same experience.
We'll see for how long this break will last. It's a proven fact that it takes twenty one days to create a new habit. The question is if I want a coffee-free life.
May be you have to accept a little toxicity in your relationship. May be you can add some milk to make it smoother. In the end of the day, it's about being true to yourself and accept that nothing is perfect. Not even a great coffee.
