All or nothing

I was raised on tea. You know the old joke they feed it to me in a baby bottle. Well in my cause its true. It had a lot of milk and sugar added to it but there you are. Needless to say I have drank tea all my life. From the first thing in the morning to the last thing at night. As a child if you were in a crisis or upset about something the answer from my parents was, " there now sit down and have a nice cup of tea." It was the cure all for everything. Anyway the point of the story is that this last year or so I progressed from just any tea to Chia tea from Starbucks. It replaced all need for any other type any time of the day. Even though on some mornings it would upset my stomach old habits dye hard. Along comes UBBT seven and it gave me a perfect excuse to go off of tea. I haven't had a single cup in two weeks! I won't give you the imprecision that I don't want it. I do. But I figure I can hold out for at least three months. April first, thats the dead line. WOW, it makes me sweat even to think about it.
Wish me luck!

It's funny that I read this as I enjoy a cup of green tea - which, for me, has been something that I have had to acquire a taste for.

Wow cold turkey on tea. I don't know if I can go a day with a cup of tea. That is awesome. I have done some ready on the good benefits of green tea and am trying to transition over. I have regular tea during the early part of the day and then I have green tea later in the afternoon and evening. I really hope some day to switch over to green tea exclusively. But I just love the taste of Red Rose which I drank when I was younger too. Good luck Sifu.
