Coffee woes...

[azziria]

The cutting-down-on-caffeine thing (because brews don’t come regularly on the boat, and my addiction was causing me problems) is going quite well – I’m sleeping better, for one thing. However my two mugs of coffee at breakfast (and if you’re going to drink coffee, you might as well make it strong enough to taste or what’s the point?) are now making me sweat and shake, so sadly I guess I’m going to have to cut down on them too :(

I had to cut out caffeine entirely before surgery, last fall. It was a challenge, but I did it, and I know you can too.

I do enough better with no caffeine and no alcohol in my system, re: sleep patterns and such, that I'd be tempted to teetotal on both... were it not for their markéd positive effects on my mental stability during highly stressful times.

I can cut right down on the caffeine but I'm *not* giving up the wine!

(Luckily, as I don't drink during the week at all, only at weekends, I don't have a dependency problem with the alcohol, so a dry boat isn't a problem... I think we might all get blisteringly drunk at the end of the race, though... *g*)
