According to Taiwanese media reports, Taipei Vice Mayor Huang Shanshan said on Facebook today (31st) that she fell seriously ill in January 2015 and almost couldn't wake up. After recovering from recuperation, she, who was originally a caffeine addict, resolutely quit caffeine .
Huang Shanshan said that she is a "coffee control". Whenever she opens her eyes every day, she must drink the strongest cup of coffee first. Only after the caffeine works can she start her day normally. She can drink at least five cups of coffee or at most a dozen cups of coffee every day, and even drink it at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, but she won't be unable to sleep because of this, she just sleeps very lightly. For her, drinking coffee is just like drinking water, almost replacing water with coffee.
In the early days of deciding to quit coffee, Huang Shanshan admitted that she was very unaccustomed to it. It was a very painful thing to not find coffee when she was hospitalized in ICU , and she was bleeding from tears and nose. After being discharged from the hospital, she made up her mind to adjust her body. Of course, there were still times when she couldn't help it, but it was not that she could drink coffee, but that she didn't want to be controlled and tied to anything anymore. Without caffeine, Huang Shanshan was not energetic every day. She was like a wandering soul. Caffeine became the tool to dominate her. She realized that this matter was terrible, so after she got sick, she decided to change her lifestyle habits and started by quitting caffeine.
Huang Shanshan spent half a year and had to firmly fight her physical needs every day. She looked at the coffee beans and coffee machine every day to see if she could withstand not drink it? I also deliberately made an appointment with my friend to go to a coffee shop to lure myself to see if I can’t help it? "Emotional conflicts with reason every day. The body tells me that it needs caffeine, but reason tells me that you can only be free to be yourself if you quit addiction!"
As for why coffee is addicted? Huang Shanshan guessed that maybe it was because she was busy with work and had a lot of brainpower in the law. She was a habit of staying up late when she was a lawyer writing a letter. She had a court hearing during the day and stayed up late at night. She had no problem when she was young, and using caffeine to refresh her mind. Coffee became her best partner, but due to her abnormal work and rest, her physical functions were gradually damaged, so it was not that there was a problem with caffeine, but personal living habits were the root cause.
