So I had my last cup of coffee on Saturday and am now suffering through immense headaches. These have got to be the worst headaches of my life. I was expecting it as I've quit coffee before but it feels much worse than I remember.

The headaches are so bad that moving or even trying to do anything other than sleep or watch TV is excrutiating. Holy crap.

Just because I want to prove to myself that I am in control and not caffeine. Ack.. The plan is to not drink any coffee until the March semester starts... At least I know the pain only lasts for 3 days.

You aren't in control. You love Big Brother. Submit.

I just had some freshly ground East Timorese Maubisse. Dark and rich Crema. Beautiful.

Why are you torturing yourself by quitting cold-turkey? Slowly weed yourself off.

Yes I am. But I don't want to be controlled by my vicious need to drink coffee. 3 days of headaches are worth it.

I must say that it really sucks to be addicted to anything so I've decided to stop the addiction.

Right, and if neither "weeding" nor "weening" suits you, try "weaning" yourself off the java.

Now for the fun question...

If Superhero is celibate, will he be the only celibate adult in his family? Laughing
