Alcohol is a drug. Caffeine is a drug. Meth is a drug. Marijuana is a drug.
What's the difference between them all? The legality!
After not consuming any caffeine for a while (a month or so?) I drank some warm Lemon Lift tea (without knowing the name). Then the title of the drink was brought to my attention: Lemon Lift.
I looked in the ingredients and lo and behold, it had black tea in it. I didn't feel too bad from the caffeine, so I drank one more cup of it because it helped my cold.
Not much later I was very jittery and had a thousand things on my mind. I wanted to clean. I wanted to exercise. I wanted to do some crafts.
I ultimately went on a walk, but was on edge. My dad went with me and so did my seven-month old son in the stroller.
Aside from being on edge, the temperature seemed to rise really quickly. After the walk and nursing my son, he was very crabby. All day. Even the next day was bad. I had a headache and was very tired and irritable. My son had also been crabbier than normal still. Aside from being irritable, I was also emotional. VERY emotional.
Today, however, we are both back to normal. There is no more Lemon Lift in the house, along with chocolate, soda, and even coffee.
Here is a seven part video of a sermon on caffeine:
