Recently took the plunge and went from 7 cups coffee plus 5 tea per day.. to around 1 coffee and 2 tea per day.
First few days were very surreal.. equivalent to slight hangover. Drinking lots of water seemed to help.
For me it was more some kind of subconscious routine habit that was too addictive, rather than the actual caffeine fix.
I think I enjoy coffee more now I drink less of it. More of a treat, and I make sure its a really good one, plunged or in an Italian pot (not instant).
- pbhjpbhj 17y agoWhen I was working in an office all day I was so bored out my skull I'd go and make a coffee for something to do that wasn't sitting at my desk. Result was drinking lots of coffee. I switched to drinking hot squash (ie fruit cordial mixed with hot water) and spiced teas without too much problem - few days of headaches. I'm thinking I need to cut back again but at the moment it's the chocolate I'm craving, probably again for the caffeine but also for the sugar.
- JoeAltmaier 17y ago"Took the plunge"? More like waded to the shallow end. Its a common addict's behavior - rationalization. Don't get me wrong; I'm glad your drug intake is down to manageable levels where you can function . The only way I managed that is going cold turkey.
