Today, I am annoyed by caffeine. Not because I am drinking it but because there are people who believe that it is actually good for you. One comment I heard was that, if you have a headache, you should drink coffee and the headache will disappear.

I used to be a coffee drinker but since both my GP and my naturopath told me that it was not good for me, I gave it up. It was a struggle, let me tell you, but I must say that I am much happier than I was then. Before, I was suffering from depression, lethargic, irritable and just generally unhealthy but now am much more aware and my depression has lifted. Occasionally, I have ventured back into the world of tea and when I do that, I pay dearly. So, that's my story.

Let's face it, caffeine is a drug. However, unlike tobacco or alcohol, it is not really regulated like a drug and is freely available to everyone. People enjoy it. They also become addicted to it. There is also nothing I can do about it...

What I just want to say is that before I let caffeine go, I was very angry. Angry at others and angry at myself. Giving it up was the best thing for me. Depression filled my life and I couldn't see anything positive. I truly believe that caffeine filled my body with anxiety and toxins and I paid for it. Things are much better now.

I don't want to have you think that I am judging those who drink coffee. It will always be there. And lots of people don't think that there is a problem with caffeine and that is fine. I just want to express that in today's society, there are many people who feel ill and many of them cannot find a cause. I believe that caffeine might be one of the reasons. There are others but perhaps I will leave that for another day...

Have a wonderful weekend...
