My doctors have more than once told me that certian conditions of mine would do better without caffinated stimulation, and I go off for a while...but relapse quickly. Lately, it's been two (LARGE) cups of coffee each morning, and about a liter of Diet Dr. Pepper in the afternoon. My body is starting to get testy... ;-)<BR/>-J<BR/>P.S. BTW, you comment earlier this week on my blog about God working with a Q game? THAT is why I love you, girl.

That way it is a bit easier for me to get caught up.<BR/>I adore the boys pictures. They are darling and typical. Atleast you are not an obsesive mother like mine was. She would COME TO SCHOOL to make sure the photographer did his/her job, and make us smile. Which, of course, looked more strained after her lecture to the photographer. lol<BR/>Fun memories. Although, I DO think that these are cute. They both look older then their age, I noticed.<BR/>My daughter is going to be nine, and my boys are turning five in 9 days, and turning two in one month.<BR/>I love it, you should go read my post!!!

I, myself, am a tea drinker...English breakfast has one third the caffeine. When I met my hubby, 16 yrs ago, he drank about 15 cups of coffee a day and needed to, as you mentioned.

The substance-specific syndrome causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. Most individuals with withdrawl have a craving to readminister the substance to reduce the symptoms. That said...you may have loved your caffeinated coffee, but I don't think you were dependent on it. :)<BR/><BR/>If you think you need treatment, you should seek help from someone who specialized in relapse prevention. This therapy involves helping people remove any ambivalence about stopping their drug use by examining their beliefs about the positive aspects of the drug and confronting the negative consequences of its use. Strategies are developed to deal with potentially problematic situations, as well as with the craving that arises from abstinence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908185560435429588.post-55662265507050492282008-11-13T15:28:00.000-06:002008-11-13T15:28:00.000-06:00wow, you're my hero.i didn't even give it up durin...wow, you're my hero.<BR/><BR/>i didn't even give it up during pregnancy.<BR/><BR/>oh and i love seeing how google brings people to the ol' blog. there are some crazies out there for sure!Colored With Memorieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15084073501183901399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908185560435429588.post-9403699372263479842008-11-13T14:39:00.000-06:002008-11-13T14:39:00.000-06:00yep.you nailed it.12 cups of coffee = Candy's ONLY...yep.<BR/><BR/>you nailed it.<BR/><BR/>12 cups of coffee = Candy's ONLY WAY to run a marathon. <BR/><BR/>hhaaaaaaaaaahh!!!<BR/><BR/>(um, it's not a joke. 26.2 miles.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908185560435429588.post-6385540509833837552008-11-13T13:49:00.000-06:002008-11-13T13:49:00.000-06:00More power to you sister!
