You drank "instant" coffee?! Ugh! That's got to be the worst addiction of all.

I've been drinking coffee since 1968. Hi test. Now that I'm 21 years sober from alcohol, I still drink at least two pots of coffee a day.

Hang in there. If you truly want to quit the caffeine addiction, you can. Those five hour "fixes" are a scam, wouldn't touch 'em.
Good luck to you.

I am not sure I agree with you on this one. 3Hotdogs Jul 2018 #11
