The other night my internet cut out for a few hours. It was devastating. It was a steamy night in NYC and all I wanted to do was hang indoors my with AC and my HBO Go account. No Go. It really made me think of all the things we become dependent on, like browsing our Instagram accounts, our caffeine habits or our cocktails after work. Each of these things can become a drug if we let it, only the shortest periods of withdrawal surfacing our anxieties. Late last year I decided to quit drinking coffee for just that reason. It was a brutal 10 days but looking back now, it never felt so good to be a quitter.
