I stopped smoking years ago, I only smoke (the less unhealthy) e-cigarettes once in a while. But I know I'll never be able to kick my coffee habit. Believe me, I've tried. Many times. Fortunately, coffee isn't all that bad for you, especially compared to smoking. Succes comes with discipline, but also with compulsive working. ironic, isn’t it?

We all have demons that we battle sometimes on a daily basis. What is so great about what you wrote here is that it was about someone else first, your secretary, and then "oh-by-the-way" I know all about battling addictions. Good luck with the coffee cessation....replace it with glasses of water! Curbs the appetite and clears the brain. Best - Sherry Chris – what an insightful post.

Personally I wouldn't have considered 1 cup a day a problem. If I'd only been drinking 1 pot a day I'd have been better off. Starting day 3 and I'm still sane. :) Mike, You are so right. They can be overwhelming But there is an enemy out there who'd have us believe they can't be overcome and we can't change. That's a lie I've seen both sides of in my day. Char, Funny how all the facts and statistics in the world aren't enough to make us change. I talked facts until I was blue in the face with our secretary. Heck, she only got the job with us because her predecessor died from smoking related lung problems this past winter! Yet when we got her emotions involved - I created a contest where she might "loose" - only then did she decide to quit. Interesting. Hey George!

I know you can do it - you've given up something much worse before. I hope your co-worker can do it too! My sister in law died of cancer at 46 - she began smoking as a teen.

That's good advice. I think with many areas in life moderation is a good idea. George, often the best things in life aren't easy, are they? I suspect we <i>will</i> both win. :) Heya Ozlady!
