10 days so far

The tenth day of a new year is today.
The tenth day without coffee.
The tenth day without processed sugar (honey and maple syrup only).

I'm doing much better with the latter than the former. Every morning I'm tempted to ease the vacancy in my brain with a caffeinated rush. Green tea and tea with a coffee flavor help a little, but I know the difference. It's a poor substitute, very poor indeed.

I've heard it takes three weeks to install a new habit. Or is that three months? I'll give it the three weeks. If the headaches don't go away by then... maybe switch to caffeinated water?
