Caffeine addiction can lead one to deduce that caffeine is truly the center of one’s daily world. I get up want coffee. If I don’t get it I become filled with an unmistakable craving. When I finally finish my cup, I feel fine for a while, yet there is always a nagging feeling left within, “Don’t you want another cup?”
Its true, caffeine and especially coffee has become the societally accepted psychoactive drug of choice. It bridges race, gender, and culture. Millions desire its effects. Can this addiction be at all negative?
Well simply put: Yes. It raises heart rates, anxiety, and when none is available the addict (most of the world) becomes down right miserable and annoying to be around. Caffeine addiction is horrible, yet we deal with it on a daily basis, because we accept that we don’t live in a perfect world and if you’ve got to be addicted–better its caffeine.
With all of that being said we should all try our best to lower our caffeine use, a little reduction might do us some good.
