:-) The Mormon belief system is funny that way...I added "upbringing" because my dad was a bishop and our family was a no-caffeine family. The cult or fundamentalist mindset is heavily moderated by family or contextual environment. If you don't clarify this you can easily become victim-blamed for being raised with a fundamentalist belief system. When I was in the bishopric there was an article in the Ensign magazine discouraging energy drinks, written by a Mormon doctor. This was also used by me and other local leaders to teach against caffeine. Addictive substance theory is a bit strange to me these days though; for example back when I suffered from severe mental health conditions, my psychiatrist said I didn't have an addictive personality. I since did some research and wrote a bit about it on a continuum with detachment. https://www.friendlyskies.net/maybe/for-those-detachers-for-us-detachers-and-for-you-detacher https://www.friendlyskies.net/maybe/for-those-detachers-for-...
