Coffee

I am a coffee addict. And this is no confession. Coffee deprivation can lead to serious problems. I’ve been on and off rehab several times. Nothing has really worked. I’ve quit trying. I start my day with a cup of coffee and invariably end the day likewise, with about five cups in between. I do not believe anyone who says coffee keeps them awake all night long. Coffee is what keeps me going. I need it most when I have an assignment to complete or a presentation to make. That’s when my coffee intake doubles and after that guilt takes over and I try to avoid having coffee for the next couple of days. But, I can’t bear to see the sight of my poor coffee mug, looking helplessly at me. And there goes, the vicious cycle begins all over again.
