I stopped drinking coffee today. It's a very difficult thing to do. Instead of having 2 cups of Peets 'Major Dickason' blend first thing in the morning, I had a cup of Meyer Lemon Tea with honey.

It's not the same.  Tea is different from coffee.

Without coffee my head feels like it belongs to my chest and my chest feels like it belongs to my feet. My body is a water balloon filled with helium.

I read a poem by James Wright in an attempt to stablize my experience, but not even James Wright can help.

I'm going down, I'm going down, down, down, down, down in slo-mo experimental Danish a movie with a soundtrack by Freddie King.

The feeling will last 3 days--I know, I've done this before--and then I'll feel better, think better, sleep better and not miss coffee at all.

I'm going to stop drinking alcohol for a while too, which in the past had proven to be far easier than quitting coffee.
