Drank a couple of dope cups of coffee after Christmas lunch. But in retrospect it probably explains the temple pounding headache I've got now.

Have had no caffeine all week. Did have an intense splitting headache for a few days after I stopped. Coffee, I'm thinking, like any upper, manipulates the stress response for its effect. Is only good psychologically for a short while, but in the long term, physiologically bad. I get monkey-brained. I've been napping everyday at 4 instead. Hopefully I can stick to tea next semester with the occasional cuppa joe a few times a week.

Monkey-brained?

I guess monkey minded is the way to say it. Inability to focus. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_monkey

I go through the occasional coffee phase, but don't really drink it anymore. Think of it as a special occasion beverage, not a tool or habit.

i never started coffee, only very recently could tolerate a non-alcohol based coffee bev.

i'm full of it, i'm still drinking coffee, right this very moment. but i'm down to a cup and a half now.
iwhen are you going to mexico? i am going soon but i don't plan on quitting coffee. that's crazy. i have read that happy hour starts at like 11am there, so i think that may make up for any lack of coffee?

i'm ready to be done with coffee. i've always been good about cutting back when my intake gets too high, but the second i let my guard down i'm up to 6+ cups a day and i just hate being so dependent. just can't seem to moderate so it's all or nothin.
also hopes it'll ease my sleeping troubles.

You can take *my* coffee when you pry my cold dead fingers from the mug.
But for those who want to (or must) quit, more power to you.

going to try decaf a couple of days this week and see how it goes. I would love to be free of the desire, but have been drinking since I was 14, so I'm not expectant that I will succeed.

in my experience when i've quit coffee before, i no longer had the desire for coffee because everything -- including heart no longer racing at odd hours, being able to sleep at night, no more caffeine headache worries, and being able to actually wake up without feeing like a zombie till i've had my coffee -- made it so worth it. But as soon as I get *one sip*!! I desire it all over again and forget the benefits of not drinking it and start untrammelled coffee drinking till I have to quit again to be functional.
