Autobiography in Five Short Chapters

by Portia Nelson

I. I walk down the street.


There's a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. I am lost.....I am helpless;
it isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

II. I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I pretend I don't see it. I fall in again. I can't believe I am in the same place;
but it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

III. I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it is there. I still fall in....it's a habit.
My eyes are open. I know where I am.
It is my fault. I get out immediately.

IV. I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it.

V. I walk down a different street.

I know this substance is legal and has some positive effects, but it's causing havoc with my gut and it just seems like time. I have never never wanted to quit before today. As I was watching my DVR'd Lost episode I just thought 'do it!', do it now.

I'm afraid of the headaches and not sure about substituting tea. I don't want to drink decaf. Though I do love the taste of coffee, I think it is the caffeine I hunger for. If I'm sick I cannot stand the taste of coffee. Yeah, I can google and google tea vs. coffee, but I just wanted some real life experiences out there in crazyland.

How did you quit? Did you go back to drinking coffee? Did you substitute tea? What about the headaches? And I know I've read articles that say coffee doesn't really keep you awake, but when I'm dragging myself to work in the morning and buy this really delicious coffee at the train station, what do I do instead? Most of all I am worried about my morning routine. The thought of my espresso and newspaper gets me out of bed. What do I do tomorrow morning?

Thank you now for any advice. But please, don't tell me not to quit, that it's no big deal drinking coffee. It is. It makes my hands shake, it makes my body tremor, and it's totally screwing up my belly. And frankly, I am tired of this addiction.]]> Thu, 11 Mar 2010 03:33:39 +0000 http://www.crazyboards.org/forums/index.php/topic/36452-kick-the-habit/ http://www.crazyboards.org/forums/index.php/topic/36424-dxm-and-depression/ Wed, 10 Mar 2010 03:50:51 +0000 http://www.crazyboards.org/forums/index.php/topic/36424-dxm-and-depression/ http://www.crazyboards.org/forums/index.php/topic/36417-relapse/ Just relapsed after nine months.
