Honey, if I drank Decaf I would never make it past 8 am
LOL...I did a cleanse at the beginning of the year where I dropped coffee. It stung at first, but I've been drinking this drink called teeccino for about 6 weeks now...a little more earthly than coffee, and certainly not as yummy, but no acid, no caf, and not terrible. Think dark herbal tea.
I was going to go see my Dad yesterday and didn't because W wanted to hang out. I consider this a little backslide on my part, but I did enjoy the day and we did ML this morning so not all bad. At least we've got some physical touch going again, and W is driving that boat.
Great message at church this morning....couple of tidbits:
1) love yourself, because only then can you love others 2) your windshield is bigger than your rear view mirror because the past is less important than your future
I also started to realize how selfish I've been. Not just the surface stuff, the things I have tried to change like doing what I want, ignoring the family, not participating in a lot of things, etc....but by trying to control my whole sitch. I had already decided a few weeks ago that I was no longer going to fight the D....I may delay it, but I'm not going to take the defensive stance I've had on it to date and I'm not going to argue with W about it. But now I think I understand why I should be doing this. It's not because I'm giving up, or because I'm trying a tactic to change W's mind.
Someone recently posted something that kind of stuck with me. Basically telling W, "I don't want or agree with D, but I want you to be happy and if that's what you think you need, ok." I think I'm really embracing that now. I do want my W to be happy, and I realize she has to find her own way and it may mean D, and even someone else in her life. It has really been hard to accept...but I get it now, and I believe in it.
Sometimes going with intuition is the best way. I like that you decide to hang with W and if she knew you switched plans, I think she might too, but just on the very occasional occasions
That discussion was an important one and she seemed to acknowledge or is beginning to acknowledge her part in this and the pattern you both had been in. She is beginning to see that you broke the pattern and she must now respond differently because x no longer equals y.
Good for you. It is a valuable lesson we as LBSs learn, usually at great cost. When a WAS starts to realize this lesson as well, then there are two healthier people in the world, even if they are no longer in a R together

That isn't the stuff the extract from Monkey crap is it ???
LOL...I sure hope not...I've still got one more package to drink!
Here's a description of what it's made up of:
Quote:
Teeccino’s Mediterranean and Maya flavor lines are based on three nutritious ingredients that are all certified organic: carob pods, barley and chicory root. Other ingredients like dates, figs, almonds, and ramon seeds bring their distinctive flavor characteristics to create the taste distinctions between Teeccino’s Mediterranean flavors, which are slightly sweet and nutty, and the Maya flavors, which are unsweetened for a pure, coffee-like flavor profile.

How it’s Made:?It is produced from the excreted beans of coffee berries which have been devoured by the Asian Palm Civet and other civets which are actually cat like then monkey, then digested. A civet cat will eat the berries for the pulp. In its tummy, the coffee beans baste in enzymes, making free amino acids and shorter peptides. Passing through the civet’s intestines the beans are then pooped out. They are then picked up, heavily washed, dried in the sun, roasted and brewed, Monkey poop beans create an aromatic coffee with a nutty taste, and make the smoothest coffee in the world.
Exotic Coffee with Notoriety:?Monkey Poop Coffee is known as the most expensive coffee in the world and gained a lot of notoriety in the US when Jack Nicholson in “The Bucket List” swore by it. Monkey Poop Coffee price may be up to $160 per pound, and according to coffee lovers is worth it’s weight in gold!
I guess it still sounds better than that Tea though...
