This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You can.
If you cut our about one half a cup of coffee a day, you can stop taking caffeine without withdrawal symptoms. You can even switch to decaf if you want to keep your habits in the same pattern.
Sounds good on paper, but not that easy. We're talking years, maybe decades of addiction, quitting overnight and trying to keep a job, household running, dependants alive... Not always that simple. It's a vicious cycle.
It's not overnight, it takes a few weeks.
It does require some discipline and willpower (like figuring out how much coffee you currently drink, then remembering how much you can drink now).
If you are ADHD or just scatterbrained then yeah might not work, but you really can do it.
I'm not interested in doing it right now. With work, home, other things going on, it's just going to be how it is. That's why I said it's way easier said than done.
