Attachments

[seanom]

Hello I have heard that attachments hinder your relationship with God and I need some advice on whether I have an attachment issue. I drink coffee about 3 times a day, I actuallyh don’t really like the taste nor do I get any pleasure from it, I only drink it to keep me awake and alert, is this an attachment??

I think if you aren’t getting any pleasure from it, but are doing it out of a real need for energy to complete your work, then you can’t really be said to be all that attached to it. You might try voluntarily doing without or cutting back now and then, but God won’t punish you if you don’t .

For the fact that you don’t like the taste and don’t get any pleasure from it, the practice might actually be some kind of mortification since there is some discomfort associated with it. But your intention is not to train the soul anyway.

I am not sure if that’s the best or right way to stay awake. You might end up becoming “attached” to it.
