Quitting Coffee

is drinking coffee like being an alcoholic for some people? as in they can't operate without it? i feel like i get more work done with it, but it's not like i'm this zombified person when i don't have it. i'm not having withdrawals or anything. are most of the people that try to go caffeine/coffee free just drinking ridiculous amounts of coffee and incapable of going a day without it? i'll have maybe two large black ice coffee with no sugar every other day. i work better with it. why quit?
 


Used to drink over a pot a day from 18-21, but suddenly coffee just stopped sitting well with my stomach. I'm still a Starbucks fiend (fuck haters, I have a rewards card), but I'm content with a tall Americano. It's a cheaper, lighter coffee because it's a diluted espresso shot.

I do take 20mg of amphetamine daily, though. Now that you're in Bangkok, you should have no problem finding some. Start with their "red bull". :thumbsup:

Well imagine that. Someone else is having a different life experience than you.

I'm quitting coffee too. But for cosmetic reasons, yellow teeth is nasty.

I considered this when my dentist knew I was a coffee drinker, but then he said he can just remove the coffee stains every time I come in for a cleaning.

Maybe there is some residual yellowness that builds up over the years even with regular cleanings, but I'm not sure. My dentist didn't seem to think it was a big deal.
 
10 cups? God damn bro. I drink 2 10oz cups in the morning then a 14oz hot tea mid afternoon. I thought that was alot.
 
I cut back to one cup a day in the morning(shudder the thought of a coffeeless morning) and do green tea(hot or cold depending) for the rest of the day to subsititute. Sounds like you are starting to do this - even though you are still getting some caffeine in the green tea its one of the most healthy things you can drink.
 
I went from drinking 16+ diet cokes per day to 0 diet cokes a day on January 1... cold turkey. I also gave up candy corn and gummi bears (all sugar products mostly)....

That being said, I finally gave in and have drank 4 diet rockstars over the last two weeks because the caffeine cravings were so horrible. Shit is what I imagine heroin is like when your off of it..
