quitting coffee again

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2003.06.24

I've decided to quit coffee, again. I knew all about the many bad things it does to you, but kept gulping down two cups a day. But today I learned something else; that its effect as a stimulant actually causes your body to go into a hypoglycemic state. That's the last thing I need - I'm always blacking out as it is (or having weak, dizzy spells, at least). So no more coffee!

Fans of this journal will recall what happened Last Time. This time I'll keep the withdrawl-induced profanities to myself.
