Today I've chosen pain over boredom (I think)

I was so bored I had an extra cup of coffee even though I know I’ll feel worse because of that. If I have more than 2 cups it never ends well. Either that or I’m addicted to coffee :coffee:.

I think the addict mind often chooses pain over boredom…I know I do…and given you’ve had problems with alcohol in the past…there’s worse painful situations you can choose.

Well I hope the 1 cup extra doesn’t put you in too much pain!!! Good luck Everhopeful. Stay strong, stay wise, stay healthy. I think youre doing a good job of that. If this is your worst slip up and it doesn’t occur too often then youre doing a damn good job. I say

try buying decaf at least?

It is like smoking, it makes you cough, and you still smoke.

Glad I don’t anymore.

Hope you feel better! Hugs!!

I try to drink all my coffee before 4-5 pm.

Doesn’t always work out that way though!

Hope you feel better, Everhopeful.

Second @mermaid1 on the decaf option. Satisfies my coffee urges without the bad effects

Choosing pain over boredom was basically my entire life up until 24.

I think even 2 cups is too much for me because I don’t feel well, so I’m cutting back to one
