Former Caffeine Addiction

As a former caffeine junkie, I tell my current set of friends who have this condition that it can be beaten. Yes, it can- and someone with autoimmune thrombocytopenia should not be exciting myself with caffeine as much as I used to. Last night I had trouble sleeping but this morning I somehow went back to sleep on my couch and in my bed. Yes, I should not have touched alcohol in my 20s, but my family was treating me so well, I kept going for like 10 years, which disrupted my ability to go to school. But anyway who am I to say that school is a healthier activity than drinking? That goes against family standards. Caffeine addiction was something else they had me into. I quit caffeine like coffee in 2010, but didn’t realize that chocolate is just as bad although it is tolerable for me. So yes, be wary of those who ply your addictions, even if you want to quit since some people will manipulate you into continuing.
