Quitting Coffee

Why (OP) do you want to quit if you are only having a cup or two a day?

I thought coffee, in small moderation, is actually beneficial. I didn't drink coffee or tea the first 27 years of my life. I started tea at 28 and now coffee this year at 29. It's been arguably the best change I could of made. I eat much less unhealthy food and that hot liquid no sugar no cream black coffee in the morning just feels so right.

I don't see what the big deal is unless ur having more than a few cups a day? I'm trying to next level it and get some organic stuff in the future.
 
If you want to replace it with a caffeine drink. If go with Numi Organic Tea. Tea has way more health benefits and you don't need to add anything to it. Emperors Pu-erh Tea is amazing.

If you want natural energy, I'd suggest like another nter said good sleep and workout in the morning throw add no fap and you'll be upsuper early and ready for anything

Thanks for the advice, I will look into it. 

I understand my coffee intake isn't too bad but within the last year, I found myself dependent on it where it only started off as enjoying it here and there. Perhaps I am overreacting but its good to hear other people's experience with it
 
Unless it's a latte, cappuccino or frappe I can't drink coffee. Iced coffee and Americano taste like motor oil to me
 
I've had one cup of coffee in the morning everyday for the past three years. Caught the flu two months ago and only drank green tea for five days or so. Haven't had coffee since. I definitely felt withdrawal for the first couple days but I was miserably sick any way. Then I kind of missed it for a week. Don't even think about it any more.

Now if I could only quit cigs.
 
Think it's because it's considered a drug. When mitt Romney was running a lot of their rules were being told. Drinking hot beverages is one of them. Joseph Smith condemned it.

OP I gotchu. I've run into this quite often having been to design school (infamous for all nighters) and working in an office going on 3 years and seeing people reach for the juice 4-5 times a day. It's tricky but doable to kick the habit. First off, if you havent already, just think of it like a bad habit. My personal experience is that coffee is the equivalent of eating candy or drinking soda, eg it'sthere because of repetition. So now just deal with it how you would get rid of any other habit whether its removing the stimuli, finding a replacement, or getting out of the environment. GL, its 99% psychological.

Legal/socially addictions are the worst, almost no support for kicking the habit. GL.

Does that mean you can't take any kind of medication?
 
I don't understand coffee addiction at all. I just don't. I love coffee and pass by a Starbucks, joe art of coffee and stumptown everyday and indulge every once in a while but I don't feel the need to have it everyday multiple times a day. Also coffee does nothing to me. Matter fact I could fall asleep after drinking a grande sized coffee.

Drink it twice a day for a week or two and you'll fee the addiction :lol:
 
My family had a coffee plantation back in the mother land in the Philippines, so it was just a way of life to drink coffee even as a kid.
Now I'm hooked, can't really complain. Don't think I'll ever give it up. Just a way of life, I'm not addicted to it but my day does feel better when I have a
A great cup of coffee in the morning. As for OP just try to cut down, coffee believe it or not is quite good for you in moderations.

because coffee is the drug of choice for people who are scared of "drugs"

This. Like people can't function without coffee? Get some more sleep or exercise more so you have more energy.
 
Easy ya'll. just start drinking energy drinks. They're even better for you.......

Nah but on a real note, I start my day off with a big glass of ice cold water. Works for me
 
All the hard work I put in for the past three months in quitting just flew out the window last week...

So I got a headache at work, and was feeling kind of down for little so what did I resort to?

Made a pot of coffee, and now I'm back on it. I even kept my coffee maker here at work just in case I relapsed; sure enough just like every other time I kicked the habit, in less than 3 months I started back drinking it.

**** it.

You only live once.

All I can say is stay away from cheap coffee that will rot your gut. Now if I try to quit again I'll have to go through the hellish withdrawals...

I'm drinking a pot to myself right now. It went from 2 cups one day last week, to 4, and now I'm drinking a pot in the morning, and another 3 cups or so around 7 or 8 to continue my caffeine buzz.

My dad worked an alternating schedule (night shift 4-5 days, 2-3 days off, 4-5 days working day shift) for about 23 years. He used to drink a pot of coffee every single morning, don't even know what he consumed at work, but I would guess he was at 10 cups per day, easy. That threw his sleep schedule off significantly. He also smoked about 2-3 packs per week for 25 yrs or so.

He 'quit' smoking about 15 years ago

He finally retired (got retired, more precisely), took him a year and a half and a tempur pedic bed to get his sleep schedule back on track. He doesn't really smoke, except when I'm around. He still drinks about 4-5 cups per day.

It's wild to me that he can go days and weeks without a smoke, but literally cannot go a day without coffee (now he usually does a 1/2 coffee 1/2 hot chocolate mix)

Coffee addiction is a real thing. And coffee breath is way worse than cig breath.
