It's very addictive and even after being weened off it for a long while, I still struggle in the mornings without it. Almost every single morning I think about how good a cup of coffee would be, and I often really feel I need it 'cause it's so hard to get my head going. But after about 2 years completely without it, I feel it has helped me a ton in my overall health. The other things working against us is that the foods available to us are so low in quality nutrients; that contributes greatly to our lethargy and difficulty waking up in the morning.
Isn't it crazy how they have made everything work together to funnel us in the directions they want us to go? Food is made in such a way to starve our bodies of nutrients which cause us not only to eat more, but to be tired all the time; not to mention microwaves destory any remaining nutrients in foods. So we eat more, LIVE on caffeine products, or drugs, just to keep going and we get prescribed drugs that help us with the dis-eases that come from these issues and the pharmaceutical drugs we're prescribed have ingredients that cause OTHER issues that call for MORE prescriptions. World without end.
All we can do is pray, stay in The Word and do our best to get by. Eventually God will make things right again. I can't wait. :)
