A month without Coffee

I picked the shortest month for this challenge though it is a leap year.  I honestly didn't think this would be as tough as it was.  There were times in the first two weeks where I was completely flat without coffee and just felt so drab.  Almost immediately I noticed that I was more grounded and a better listener.

I eagerly look forward to a steaming hot cup of my favourite beverage tomorrow.

Pros
More regular energy
More calm
Better listener

Cons
Flatness without it
Gets ideas flowing
A jolt of energy on demand

 
Update:
October 3, 2014 - As an update to this post. For the past several months I have been cutting my caffeine intake by having what's called a half-caf. It is coffee that is half decaf and half regular. At home I pre-mix my beans before grinding. Most places I go to are able to accomodate the request. It is really easy to do and I would recommend it!
