Coffee to forget my day to day problems...

For as long as I can remember, people around me have had their way of forgetting their problems, whether it was alcohol, drugs, or video games. I consider myself to be a person who does not have any vices, but looking back at what I used to use to forget my problems I think that coffee was my vice, I used it to forget everything that happened to me, but then I did not need it anymore for that purpose and now I enjoy it with my family and friends. But before I continue I want to tell you about how I came to drink coffee to forget my problems in the first place.

I think it all started when I became unemployed, that was an extremely big blow for me because I went from supporting my family well and covering all their needs to asking for food in shelters or needing social assistance to try to support my family, but it was not because I could not work, It was that in my country had hit again a great economic crisis much worse than anything we had seen, and all kinds of work were a failure, poverty rose to a maximum of 92% of the population, so I was plunged into a depression so big that I could not get out of bed every morning.

And if that wasn't enough added to that constant stress of not knowing how to support my family, I lost my daughter and my wife a few months later, as social unrest was becoming more and more common in the country, and they became more and more violent, one of these violent riots reached them one day they were going to school in a bus and some radical protesters burned the bus where they were going, that day besides my wife and daughter 41 people died. Rage and impotence filled my mind and were reflected in the tears that fell every day on my face, I did not know what to do and I had no way out.

And added to that, I was attacked by terrible stomach cancer, due to the enormous stress I was going through that I almost did not eat and was extremely unbalanced, and when I got to the hospital and they did the tests the doctors gave me 3 months to live because cancer had metastasized and was extremely spread to other parts of the body such as the lung, colon, and other organs. As I had absolutely nothing in life and was about to die I decided that my life was going to end in a peaceful place where I lived wonderful moments. I immediately remembered a state in the west of the country, a place where I had my honeymoon and never had the opportunity to return, it is Merida, which is for me a perfect place where the best coffee in the country is grown.

It took me about 7 days to walk through the green areas of the country, and when I arrived the first thing I took was a coffee to be able to turn off the powerful cold that attacked my body, since the temperatures in some areas such as apartaderos can reach up to 5 degrees Celsius. But besides helping me to dissipate the cold from my body, the coffee helped me to forget my problems, when I drank a cup of coffee I felt alive again, I did not feel sad or depressed and I had completely forgotten all the problems I had gone through, even felt very vividly the love of my family. This made me drink more and more coffee, so much so that I became addicted. I drank 6 to 15 cups of coffee a day and felt happier and happier. I felt that place was my new home.

Then I opened my eyes and saw some doctors saying goodbye to me, saying that I was going to rest in peace and not to worry anymore about the problems, I looked around me and I was in a hospital connected to an oxygen machine that helped me to stay alive, but because of the need in the hospital due to the decadent economic situation in the country, they needed it urgently for another patient, They needed it urgently for another very serious patient, and as there was no family member to advocate for me in the hospital and as I was so serious with cancer, they disconnected me and I closed my eyes, I did not need coffee again to forget about the problems but I rested in peace. ..
