Two weeks have passed since I committed to reducing my coffee intake. The result is that I have, for the most part, been successful.
I no longer brew a full pot of coffee in the morning. Instead, I brew just enough for one of my café-au-lait mugs.
That’s the good news. The difficulty is that every other day, I brew a second cup in the afternoon. However, this is not entirely bad news. I have become so accustomed to making just enough for one cup, that it would feel weird to brew any more.
Thinking back, I probably reduced my intake of coffee by one third. It’s progress that I can live with because I can feel my cravings for coffee going away. By training myself to have just one cup in the morning and one cup in the afternoon every other day, I’m slowly kicking my addiction.
