i think i broke up with coffee
i usually have one cup every morning. last week, i had some stomach virus and didn't eat much and definitely wasn't drinking my morning joe. better
now, but still not drinking it.
it wasn't the caffeine i was worried about, but i take mine light and sweet, so it was the sugar. anyways, no coffee for the past two weeks. no
withdraws. certainly less sugar in my day. we'll see.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

In an effort to cut down on coffee (aka artificial sweeteners) I have done away with all sweeteners. Now I have two cups black at work. One in the
morning, one in the afternoon. So far so good.

No sweetner, Ruins the taste of coffee, if I want sugar I can have candy.
Cream enhances the texture of the drink however so it's permissable.
Go Joe.

french vanilla, extra cream, regular sugar.
I don't like the taste of actual coffee, I like all the crap that flavors it.

I won't drink coffee without a shot or two of espresso in it. Every day. If I'm not drinking beer after work, its always ice coffee.

I always drink mine black. It would be hard to stop.

I went from drinking 2-3 Great Ones from Dunkin Donuts a day to nothing at all for the last year. I feel much better. I was definitely addicted to
coffee. I felt like shit if I didn't have one to start my day off.

I dumped coffee on December 28, 2007 and never looked back. I just had to kick that bitch right out of my life.

BD, if you wanna avoid the sugar, but decide to go back to coffee get yourself some agave nectar. It'll give you the same sweetness as sugar without
all the nastiness of that particular white powder. I was very skeptical that it would be an acceptable substitute, but I tried it once and use it
every day now. It's not artificial or some kooky hippie replacement thing, it's just a natural sweetener that doesn't raise the glycemic index and so
a lot of diabetics are switching to it. I would recommend a brand called Madhava, they have quite a few varieties including some flavored ones like
vanilla, irish creme, cappuccino and such. It comes from the agave plant, yeah the same plant that tequila is made from, but it doesn't have any of
the effects of that substance either.

I got some headaches for a while but that stopped. I was just so sick of the feeling of tension that coffee gave me that it was worth it. Plus I
started hitting the gym at the same time so I was getting that kick in the ass that coffee gives you from a natural source. It was much better than
way.

i'll look into the agave nectar.
the sugar was my problem. every morning i'm pouring these two huge scoops of sugar into my mug, and i'm thinking, "you fat fuck. the last thing you
need a mouthful of sugar with every cup of coffee."
like matty, i have been drinking some green tea.

I stopped drinking cold turkey one day, and was so fucking lethargic for about 2 weeks. I was falling asleep at my desk and couldn't concentrate. I
felt like a million bucks after those two weeks though. I eventually started drinking coffee, but not everyday. I don't need it to wake up. I just
drink it sometimes because I enjoy it.

Mahogany Blend.
