I honestly hate the "Haha I NEED my coffee isn't my addiction so quirky haha?" thing some people have. And the same as weed addicts they constantly feel the need to justify their addiction it really irritates me.
i quit smoking. i reduced drinking down to 1-3 a week on weekends, maybe 2-3 weekends a month.
i quit soda. i quit energy drinks.
i work 30-50 hours a week, i take care of a house, a child, two pets, im aging and slowing down.
i can go without coffee if need be. and i have for mobths after having a spell of anxiety due to some life events. but theres a definite effect of doing without.
sorry to annoy you, and sorry to make light of a completely normal, heavily socialized consumption habit.
im certain you have zero vices and are perfect and never annoy anyone.
I love Bertrand Russell man. His essays are so beautifully written.
In praise of idleness is a banger. The conquest of happiness is a joy to read. His writings are so clear. The way he elucidates his thought process is sublime. What a cool guy.
