When you first started drinking it you probably said, “I’m going to hate this.” After a while though you realized you can’t live without it. Now you’re convinced coffee pumps through your veins instead of blood, and that it’s an essential part of your day. All of the coffee addicts out there know we feel a different kind of passion for our “cup of joe” than all those regular people. Coffee is not a drink, it’s a lifestyle. Here are some things that you might feel when you just can’t get enough.

1. You can’t do anything if you don’t drink it as soon as you wake up.
2. If you have to do things, you do them half asleep and complain that you haven’t had coffee.
3. Bringing you to a coffee place is like bringing a kid to a candy store.
4. You’re Switzerland on the whole “Dunkin vs. Starbucks” debate, because let’s be real, you love anywhere that serves coffee.
5. You know that it now takes you way more coffee to feel the caffeine kick in than it used to.
6. You know you should probably cut back on the coffee consumption, but you also know you won’t.
7. If someone told you that you had to give up coffee you might actually have a mental breakdown.
8. You’re starting to feel that you actually can’t interact with humans until you’ve had your coffee.
9. When your friends surprise you with a latte, you feel the happiness equivalent to that of someone being surprised with a new BMW.
10. You love the rush you get when you've had too much coffee - you feel like you can do anything and everything all at once.
11. You start to think drinking a cup of coffee before bed is a good idea and immediately regret it when you actually want to sleep.
12. You would rather have an espresso shot than a shot of tequila.
13. You try to rationalize your addiction by saying things like “It could be cocaine, but it’s not so we’re good.”
14. The smell of coffee automatically makes you all warm and fuzzy on the inside.
15. Your Keurig is used more than the oven in your kitchen, and you don’t feel bad about it. Coffee is the only food group you need in you anyway.
16. Your daily schedule revolves around when you’re going to have coffee next.
17. When you hear people talking about how they’re addicted also, you laugh in your head. You live and breathe for the coffee; nobody can beat your obsession.
18. A boyfriend or girlfriend can break your heart, but you know coffee would never do that to you. It’s a love thing.
