I recently discovered my kid is secretly addicted to energy drinks, so I've quit caffeine to set a good example.

So now I'm nicotine free, and caffeine free.

Is it okay to kill every human in the world, or is this one of those times I shouldn't listen to my heart?

I think a person has to be responsible for their self, foremost.

Today, people tend to blame companies and products on everything that goes wrong in their life.
I don't know how ok that is.

Unless a person has an allergy to something, I don't think consumption of a product once in awhile
is going to have any significance on the health. I do believe it does take consumer responsibility
and perhaps some commons sense thrown in. I mean, if you eat a bag of candy bars every day,
you can expect that something just might go haywire with your health.

When I was a kid, WADA hadn't been invented yet, and caffeine was still a banned substance. I served a three month ban after a positive test, and I'd just drank too much tea, I hadn't even taken a supplement.

Now WADA is a thing, caffeine isn't banned, and kids are dropping dead of heart attacks. It's okay once you're an adult, not so much while you're still a kid. In fact, you can't even sell them to under-16s anymore, so I'd like to know where she's getting them (or, in fact, getting the money to buy them).

We've gone from one extreme to the other. The limit was way too low when I was banned. It doesn't exist at all now.

But mostly, it's the withdrawal symptoms that make me want to kill everyone in the world.

It's in such cases where you leave your friendship behind with your children.
It's difficult to do. You become a parent, instead.

YOU are the parent, she is the child. YOU are the one in control.

You only think you're in control! lol

The tendency of the mind to want to control is so strong and so habitual that we often don’t realize the myriad of times it tries to push our inner wisdom and natural sense of ease and love aside.

The bad news is there is no book or course that will change the nature of our mind; the good news—we don’t have to. The problem isn’t our mind, but how we use it.

proud to be a young couple with a chubby baby ..... headache to be an aged couple with an addicted and habitual teen!
