QUITTING COFFEE SANDBOX THREAD

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?

otm!

where are you going in mexico? beach or city?

I would rather die than quit, for real. xp

going to puerto vallerta, beach/city; got a room lined up in walking distnace from the beach.

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.
