Thank you for sharing this with us @steemchiller.
"I stopped drinking coffee, because of the negative effects that caffeine has on the pineal gland, and I'm beginning to realize that it is a much stronger drug than I was aware of."
I personally have a "love-hate" relationship with coffee. I think I could do without it, but it is part of my beloved lifemate's DNA (okay, maybe slightly exaggerated, but not by much ... 😉).
She was raised on a farm and her earliest memories were of her father quietly drinking his coffee, as he looked out over their fields in preparation for a new day. She always has coffee prepared first thing every morning of our long life together ...
What I know is I get a lot more "mileage" out of it than she does, as she can drink it at night and sleep like a baby shortly after. Not me ...
Well, you've provided me some inspiration to once again consider quitting. Been here before ... We'll see if it holds up this time ... 😊

It's pretty hard to quit drugs or doing other lifestyle changes as long as the partner isn't in on it.
I will typically have problems getting to bed if I drink coffee or tea after 15:00, while my mother always have coffee also in the evening.
I remember very well I had some Germans visiting some years ago, and they were pretty hard coffee drinkers. They also would brew some espresso and drink it right before going to bed. Perhaps it makes it easier to get up in the morning?
