I’ve just kicked the habit.
I was on at least 8-10 dirty syrupy cups of the black stuff each day on top of the odd diet coke. Not even the good stuff either I was knocking back cheap powdered crap at work that would melt a spoon.
Anyway, 4 days in of cold turkey and the sweats and insomnia have gone and I’ve started to notice that I’m waking up far refreshed than ever before. I've always slept well but binning caffeine seems to be rewarding me with a deeper far more refreshing sleep. Concentration levels are up and I’ve noticed that I’m less irritable with the world at large and altogether more chilled.
Anyone else an addict or gone clean?
It’s an odd drug looking back I was literally buzzing off my tits and running round at 100mph in the afternoon. The fact that without my daily fix I felt lethargic was a vicious circle to drinking more and more until I was drinking copious amounts in the day.
I used to only drink the good stuff kidding myself I was a connoisseur but I was soon on the cheap nasty shit like Nescafe like the rest of the drug addled cunts and Scotch.
Anyway choose life and crystal meth, it's safer...

Tried it before, went cold turkey for about a month. Think I started a thread about it actually.
I'm back on 6 to 8 cups a day now.

I gave up coffee about 18 months ago...never had a big habit, probably 1 or 2 cups a day, and still drink a bit of tea daily, so never really noticed a huge difference.
I stopped in order to drink more water...which is easy in the warm weather a bit more difficult in winter.

I drink 2-3 cups of coffee a day, same with tea.
I also drink atleast two litres of water a day.
I like to hold it all in as long as possible then spend 10 minutes pissing like a racehorse.

I wouldn't say i'm an addict, but i do drink far too much. (Although less of late.)
At times used to get through 250g of beans in about 4 days. I've stopped drinking so much now and have moved to instant to make it less pleasurable. The bad thing is i do have to drink instant double strength though, so probably living in a dream world thinking i drink less.
