Dear Coffee,

It has been 18 days since I started my detox, and we last saw each other. I am missing you so!

I have actually been DREAMING about you, Coffee, and that’s saying something. I gave up booze over 4 YEARS ago and have never had dreams about it, so I know my love for you is real. I’m doing fine without gluten, sugar, dairy, and artificial garbage, but you, Coffee? It’s you I miss.

I miss waking up to you. I miss your dark, deliciousness as it touches my lips in the morning. I miss seeing you throughout the day when I need a pick-me-up. I miss your scent, and the way the creamer swirls in your steamy hotness. My god, you are wonderful, and I freely admit that I am addicted to you.

Coffee? Do you think we are soul mates?

I have a confession to make to you, Coffee. I have been cheating on you with tea. I’m sorry! I was desperate. But we all know affairs are never as good as the real thing. And tea is just a weaker, more tepid version of you. You are a thousand times the beverage tea is! This relationship with tea will never last. It’s you, Coffee. It always has been.

So, until we meet again on October 1, know this. I miss you. I love you. I cannot wait to taste you again. Thank you for understanding and always being there for me even when I do something crazy like temporarily giving you up.

Looking forward to that first sip,

Kristi
