Your preferred stimulant...

A real coffee or two in the morning was a 40 year habit for me, it wasn't an addiction it was a ritual,  I can go for weeks without missing it at all but others seem so totally hooked on or obsessed with the coffee thing. 

This is my preferred stimulant:

Keeps me up all day. 

I was going to post a pic of me with a couple (two pairs actually) of stimulants I can (did) actually get but won't derail this thread any further.

Unless you guys actually want to see my favourite regular stimulants, of course.....

Good fresh coffee with a dash of oat milk when I'm not in some office somewhere, black moccona poured straight from the jar if I am. I'm also not adverse to the occasional energy drink if I'm feeling particularly zapped but I try to stick with coffee because frankly it just tastes far better.

I also maintain a rolling container of pre-workout. Generally I only use that before a pretty hectic gym workout and I don't beast myself that hard anymore to warrant it. I still buy a fresh container every 12 months or so because it'll turn into a hard sugary lump after a while if you don't use it up.
Very helpful when you need to get through a rough morning or lots of physical work. It's definitely not something I take for funzies that's for sure because the crash afterwards can be very limiting. I generally keep a stock of it so that should I need it it's there, but I wouldn't use it just because I had a bad sleep or something. It's not really great for the anxiety levels although coffee isn't either... But I can only deal with removing one vice at a time! lmao.

I do also keep a stock of 10mg melatonin though. My doc recommended cutting my coffee intake but said that it's not likely to be causing my sleeping issues as I don't drink coffee after midday anymore, and I don't drink that many in the morning (generally 2 - 3). He said to give melatonin a try simply to try to calm things down a bit. The melatonin helps my brain to shut off. So it's a balancing act of coffee in healthy amounts because I really enjoy it and it helps with my productivity and focus in the morning, and then balancing everything else with melatonin at night.

Seems to work. But if SHTF and I need to go like the clappers I have enough legal stimulants to fell your average sized snuffleupagus, and then enough sleeping tablets of both melatonin and OTC knock out darts to drop the same snuffie for 24 hours.
What goes up, must come down after all.

Both Sweetie and I are best described as 80%-20% people...

I'm 80% coffee, 20% tea..
She is an 80% tea, 20% coffee drinker..

Joey, it's always paid for, in one way or another.

This should be fun...where's the popcorn...

I bought my wife a rifle for Christmas. Next birthday, its some ammo.





A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep.
