I live in Seattle, the home of Starbucks, where coffee culture is BIG, and coffee shops are sprinkled on every street corner. Every day, I walk past seven coffee shops on my short eight-minute walk to the office.

I started drinking coffee again.

To be honest, I always craved it. I had stopped completely for five years.

I do feel like I can take it or leave it now, but I usually choose to take it!

I’m drinking Hawaiian Kona right now.

I have been drinking coffee almost every day since I was 12 years old, I am now 23, in my senior year of college, and I am a LITERALLY ADDICTED to coffee as anyone has ever been to Chrystal Meth or Heroin. By around 10 am if I have not had coffee, my head feels like it’s encased in concrete, I get irritable and I can’t think coherently. If I still don’t do anything about it by 2 pm I feel like there is a sharp piece of glass stuck in my brain,very bad.
Honestly though, I just plain LOVE COFFEE and I don’t want to give it up even if I could. As long as i drink one cup in the morning im just fine. Unfortunately i spend $25 a week at Starbucks which has got to stop.

I hope you didn’t go with caffeine teas. Most teas have caffeine. If you chose teas with caffeine then, you really didn’t give up caffeine. You just replaced beverages with the same thing.

I agree with many of the things you stated in your blog post. I noticed that I felt full after eating a meal. When I would drink caffeine, I needed to eat more.

I’m on day 6 and I’m not as tired like last week. I gave up caffeine last Wednesday. Tomorrow will be the one week mark. I gave up sodas because they give me tummy issues. I have acid reflux.

Awesome blog, awesome article. I recently quit caffeine, (I used to drink about 7 cups of tea a day and would get awful headaches from the lack of caffeine), and I agree with all of the things that you mentioned. I started running, which is giving me an alternate and more healthy form of energy.

I just might try this. I’ve been trying to cut out the coffee because of my kidney stones. I’ve only had one cup in the past 10 days. Maybe I’ll try replacing with tea…has to be better than water every morning…just doesn’t do the trick

thanks for the article. i am giving it up and am very much looking forward to the benefits. it is hysterical to me how people blog here to “defend” their coffee habit. it reminds me of an alcoholic or heroin addict. i mean, why are they attracted to reading the article anyway and why do they get defensive unless it struck a cord with them. anyway, good article and good luck.
