It's time for an update. I had a small relapse over the summer, but kicked it pretty quick in the fall. The E.D. was starting to set in again, and now that I recognize the connection between the two (caffeine addiction and erectile dysfunction), that is quite motivational to stay off the juice.
I have been successful this time. I've even had a few glasses of Diet Coke at restaurants and they haven't resulted in a tragic slide back into addiction. My wife brings caffeinated beverages into the house all the time and I do not drink them. Keep your enemies close, they say (referring to the beverages, not my wife).
I'm happy to report the Caffeine Dependency-Induced Erectile Dysfunction is completely gone and things are working better than ever. (Yes, TMI again, but this is important evidence for others suffering through similar symptoms.)
My weight hasn't changed at all. I was hopeful that getting rid of caffeine would result in some loss (like I always do), but no luck. Still running. Endurance is good.
I'm still drinking some things with aspartame in them, with the expected results, mostly coughing.
It may be time to apply the (little bit of) willpower I have to the next goal. I think I can move the focus away from caffeine.
Time to achieve great things.
