tweet by Johann Hari: The core of addiction is not wanting to be present in life, because pour life is too painful a place to be. This is why imposing more pain or punishment on a person with an addiction problem actually makes their addiction worse.

    Caffeine is more unhealthy and more addictive than marijuana. So you’ve used drugs :)

    I spent my college years being stupid-straight-edge, but downed enough caffeine to give me jitters every day. I ended up having to quit coffee for a year and have to moderate my intake so it doesn’t get excessive again.

    A bourbon every once in a while is NOTHING compared to that for me.
