A coffee addiction could potentially be seen as a stealth addiction. Many people everywhere are suffering without actually realising that they are suffering. Suffering may seem like a strong way of putting it but that is really what is happening. Not only are you putting yourself under a lot of strain and unnecessary stress when you are away from the beloved drink, youre also putting strain on your circulation system when you are pumped full of coffee.
If is important, when youve found yourself getting into a routine involving coffee - no matter how small - that you ask yourself: am I addicted to coffee? Try a day without coffee, and judge your bodys reaction to the hiatus. Clearly the reaction will be more severe if you are used to greater levels of caffeine but it may even be noticeable if youre used to half a cup a day. Studies have shown that people who regularly drink half a cup of coffee a day can develop a dependency on it. A coffee addiction is a coffee addiction no matter what the volume of intake.
