I’m not in denial. I’m well aware that I’m chemically dependent on caffeine and will have withdrawal symptoms, including headaches, if I cut back or stop drinking coffee.
I also really like coffee. I drink half-caff just so I can drink more without getting the jitters.
I used to never drink coffee because I didn’t want to become dependent on it. It also helped that all the coffee I ever tried tasted terrible.
Then one day, my husband was raving about switching to french press and how good it was. To humor him, I took a sip and… it was so delicious! My fate was sealed, and I regret nothing.
I can straight up forget coffee exists sometimes. I don’t have any coffee related urges, but I do have an “I need to wake up, maybe coffee will do it.”
I’ve never drank the stuff.
As far as I can tell, you’re all addicts in collective denial.

But the rest of them are totally in denial. 100%

I went off it when I started my ADHD medication, it was difficult and I had a few days to recover. It put coffee in a whole new light for me.
Course the medication is also stimulants, but it makes me think good and remember things so I’ll take it.
I can actually stop anytime and often do. I would miss tea though, but tea is different.
