[dc]I[/dc]t’s true. I gave up coffee back in February. Not caffeine, just coffee. I drink green tea instead now, and it’s been an adjustment, but not really as terrible as I feared.

Bonus for my Patreon patrons: see a scan of my original layout drawing for this comic.

Why did I stop drinking coffee? Anxiety and stress issues. Cutting back on caffeine by quitting coffee was an easy fix (in some ways), so I decided to give it a go. Comic convention season will be the big test, however. Motor City Comic Con is this weekend(!) and Cherry Capital Comic Con is in two weeks. There’s other stuff in the works which will make May even busier, but I can’t talk about it just yet.

Probably time to stock up on more V8 +Energy.

I will say this, I’m not having the anxiety attacks any longer, and it’s easier for me to fall asleep at night. Waking up in the morning is a little easier too, because I just kind of wake up on my own more often than not.
