Caffeine and Stuff

You Might Be a Coffee Addict If ...


... you're employee of the month at the local coffee house and you don't even work there

… your eyes stay open when you sneeze

… you chew on other people's fingernails

… you can type sixty words per minute with your feet

… you can jump-start your car without cables

… you don't sweat, you percolate

… you've worn out the handle on your favourite coffee mug

… you walk twenty kilometres on your treadmill before you realise it's not hooked up

… you're so wired, you pick up radio signals

… your birthday is a national holiday in Brazil

… you'd be willing to spend time in a Turkish prison

… you go to sleep just so you can wake up and smell the coffee

… you name your cats 'Cream' and 'Sugar'

… you have a picture of your coffee mug on your coffee mug

… you don't tan, you roast

… you don't get mad, you get steamed

… your coffee mug is insured by Lloyd's of London

… you introduce your spouse as your coffee mate

… you haven't blinked since the last lunar eclipse


todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful

that I will never have to hit bottom again

that I have things to do every day which involve other people and not just me

that it's now been 3 years since I have walked inside the Irish pub of which I continue to be an investor; I drank there for 30 years

that all my possible excuses to delay my recovery have dried up

that I am as passionate about sobriety as I was about staying drunk
