This was my first weekend on the 30 day water-only experiment. Every Saturday and Sunday one of the first things I do when I get up is to go to Peet's and get the Caramel Latte. I get lattes almost every day, but not until later. As soon as I get the latte I come home, relax, tune-out and ride the caffeine buzz and feel good about doing nothing. That's one of the many bad side-effects of an addiction whether it's lattes or pot, they make you feel ok with getting nothing done and going nowhere.
It's not just about being lazy. Personally, it makes me feel incapable of making the decisions that will push me forward towards whatever I want. Without these bad things clouding up my mental state, I've been more capable of making decisions again. I accomplished a couple of important things that I've been wanting to do for awhile now.
Hence, If anyone wants to know how they they can benefit from cutting these things from their lives, you will probably have more focus and less indecision. I think most people feel they need certain addictions to function on a daily basis and they don't question it. I'm beginning to question whether I want any of these things again, whether or not I want to take this past the original concept of a 30 day experiment of self-discipline.
