Ergh

I think I need to stop drinking coffee.
Caffeine bad.

Coffee is extremely bad. It's been my worst physical addiction. I've been cold turkey for almost a year, and plan to be off for at least a decade.

However caffeine is not the problem. The coffee plant has a drying heating astringing congesting affect on the body which is terrible for anyone in our culture of stress and work.

Green tea has lots of caffeine and it has a stripping/cleansing effect. Green tea is good medicine. Switch to green tea.

Black tea is closer to coffee than green tea; I use it as a stand-in if i'm jonesing hard for coffee. However, it's not friendly like green tea.
