A coffee addiction is a very serious problem. What makes coffee addiction all the more serious is the number of people that suffer from it without realizing it. At the lower end of the scale - where people are taking one or two cups a day on a regular basis — the effects of the caffeine itself are rather minimal. Even with an addiction to two cups of coffee a day, though, it is the withdrawal that causes the most stress on the body. If you drink more than two cups of coffee a day then not only will your withdrawal from the coffee addiction be painful, stressful and difficult, the effect of that much daily caffeine on your body is noticeable.
Caffeine is generally bad for your circulation and your heart; it also keeps you awake when you would otherwise be sleeping. Whilst fending off the urge to sleep can occasionally help your work or study it is not a long term solution. In today’s quick fire society, though, it is certainly treated line one.
Try going without coffee for a day. Is it an easy thing to do? Do you notice any change in yourself? It’s probably easy to blame your new-found short temper on the circumstances of the day. Do you feel okay? If you feel a little off then it is easy enough to put that down to some seafood you ate last night, or a cold that you may be catching. It may also be the symptoms of your withdrawal from coffee and caffeine.
Asking yourself: ‘Am I addicted to coffee’ is the first step in being able to deal with what can be a major for your health, for your sanity, and as a consequence for your family.
