Yeah, that abstinence from coffee and tea thing (works) is really a toughy isn’t it. LOL
Too bad you cannot take part of the ‘saving’ ordinances in the Temple if you’ve let the vile stuff pass your lips. Coffee and tea will keep you from the Celestial Kingdom.

The Word of Wisdom was not a commandment when it was initially given, but was given to the capacity of the weakest of those who call themselves saints. However, it was/is a law of health and obedience and the principles it speaks of are closely connected to the blessings we receive from God. Habits are hard to break, and things that are addicting to the body remove freedoms from us. When we are enslaved to our appetites, our spirits are diminished and our bodies have more control over us.
To be perfected in Christ is a goal that I strive for. I often fail, but I find that I get stronger when I overcome my infirmities. The Lord makes our weaknesses become strengths when we put our trust in Him.
All the best!
