We admit, we've been abstaining for a very very long time now, and here's the thing about abstinence.
You know how it is lah. When you never start it, you don't understand why people would get so ketagih over it. Then you try it for yourself and you're hooked. Gotta have it...just gotta have it. It just feels so good.
When you first start learning to say "No," the body goes into withdrawal. There's only so much one can take and the lure of temptation is always strong - thus we'd to taper off slowly, bit by bit.
Tapering off is fine, because that way we've been teaching the body to cope without it. And we've been doing well. In fact, the last time we had it was last year, as far as we remember. See? It's been that long ago and we've ne'er thought about it.
We've been doing fine without.
Until yesterday.
That we just thought about it today brought back all the cravings for it - so much that the body just could not resist and wanted it. So. Badly.
We finally cave in and decided what the heck. Who needs to abstain. The body embraced it once again.
Welcome home. Daddy's been hurtin' and missed you badly.

Starbucks. Why dump him at the first place by the way?
What are you abstaining from coffee??
How could you give up coffee! Cutting down is the best I can do.
The "abstinence" title is so misleading. lol
The Heart Asks Coffee First?
So you did it finally. Congrats! :P
is this your only craving other than gym classes?
never like coffee anyway, so consider me from Jupiter or Saturn
YOu skipped coffee for one year? How could you? Hehe
I definitely agree with this assessment, except that it wasn't coffee, it was custard. Coffee smells a lot better'n it tastes, at least to my jaded, screwed up system. Now, tell me to stop eating pomegranates and I might -die-.
Love, light and peacocks. The latter of which really needs to be refridgerated, even if it's not a book. ;)

Jason: We've been keeping to Earl Grey tea.
NJAPF: Only from buying coffee beans and brewing our own - because it required more work. :P
Savante: But we're back on!
Little Dove: 'Tis apt still. :P
Alex: Congratulating us for getting back on the Coffee Train?
Henry Yeo: Oh there are other cravings not to worry. And not all people like coffee too. :)
Daohui: No lah, not until a year. :D Just half a year?
Shuku: Haha we gave up on ground beans because of the trouble it took cleaning the coffee press later on. Pomegranates is way more troublesome. :S
William: Memang so many things to abstain from...
