I've been drinking coffee since I was eighteen years old. At twenty-one, when I started smoking, I discovered that these two items went really well together. I've heard many other smokers say this as well. As my smoking increased over the years so did my intake of coffee. Because of the carbon monoxide in the tobacco, which would make me sleepy, I needed the caffeine in the coffee to pick me up again. Now that I'm no longer a smoker I've noticed that I can go weeks and even months without ever thinking about coffee. It feels really good to have my own evergy back again.
I still enjoy drinking coffee. But the difference now is that I drink it because I want to and not because I need to.
