Days Four and Five: still resisting

Wow, this is not turning out to be a very gripping story to follow. You would have thought I'd have slipped up by now. Luckily there's very little chance anybody is actually reading this.
Anyway, it hasn't even been a week yet, there's still time for failure. Meanwhile, I've got to say that knowing I'm going to blog about it has kept me from giving into the temptation. Boring detail: I spent $1.05 on a cup of tea today. Sure that is overpriced tea, but it's still only a buck, not five.

Day Three: easy

Not even tempted today. Having this blog helps. Could be a new form of therapy? I'll write a book and make millions off this concept.

Day Two: still strong

This second day was one of those where I would have automatically stopped by for a latte in the afternoon after taking my son to preschool. I had been up late the night before, and I was running errands with the other kids, so it would have been easy to drive through and get my caffeine fix. But, I held strong. I honestly haven't missed lattes, they were just a habit.
Good thing I'm not trying to give up caffeine. I tried that a couple of times, too painful. Also, pretty much impossible.
I believe in setting achievable goals.

Day One: so far, so good

I resisted the urge and held strong today, even while walking past several specialty-coffee vendors, even though I was tired (stayed up too late doing things such as: creating this blog!)
I drank the usual two cups of tea in the morning, but then I did get a late-afternoon headache. Didn't realize how often I've been hitting the drive-thru windows lately in the afternoon. Two cups of tea later, I'm doing fine.

Any other addicts out there?

If you're addicted to overpriced coffee drinks, share your thoughts!
Have you ever tried to quit?
Are you in denial?
Or does your daily latte bring you immeasurable joy?
Is it worth it?
