Kicking the Coffee Habit

‎03-26-2014 04:12

It sounds a bit melodramatic to say this, but I believe I have a coffee problem (I hesitate to use the word addiction). I know that most of the coffee I consume in a day isn't from need; it is purely out of habit and some sort of psychological itch that gets scratch when I drink coffee. 

 

Has anyone else struggled with this? How did you cope and then kick the habit? Is there room for a cup of coffee every day in my life or do I need to cut it out completely? Does anyone out there want to be the person that keeps me honest every day?

I have an allergy to caffeine, so I had to give up caffeinated soda. There were headaches for awhile, but by changing the way I look at beverages, I feel good about not drinking soda most of the time. I know that water is the best thing for my body, so I only drink water or drinks that are really food, such as smoothies or Naked Juices. Sometimes I drink water with a flavoring, but nothing with sugar or sugar substitute. Once you get over the initial shock, you stop craving the sugar and the caffeine and I feel like I have more energy throughout the day. Good luck!

I have cut back on the amount of coffee that I have. I used to have about 5-6 cups a day to now having 1-2. I want to try and give it up completely but, and I'll use today as an example, I got a really bad headache and tiredness creeping up. I like having that one because I still crave the "taste" so to speak but I find that I feel better with just the one.
