If you really want something hot, try warmed apple juice with a tea bag in it

for about 2 minutes no more (weak tea). Its not bad. I guess it would work

cold too since you seem to like that morning cold drink.

Gad, Mark. Mello Yellow and Marlboros. Think there might be any correlation

between your sleep issues and your caffeine and nicotine consumption?

I expect you will be delightfully surprised how good you are going to feel in

a short time of a different lifestyle.

Hi , and thanks again. You're right about the gradual change.

I'm sorry to have mislead you, but I've never been a coffee drinker,

really. For several years, I've been doing worse than coffee. I've

been literally living on Mello Yello :-| (for those of you in the

many parts of the country where it's not sold, Mello Yello is one of

Coke's versions of a high caffeine " citrus " soft drink).

Before I got sick\health conscious, I would wake up drinking this (it

was literally my breakfast - along with a couple Marlboros) and drink

it continually until bedtime. For the past 3 years, I've been taking

Sonata (a prescription, non-addictive sleep-aid) to go to sleep at

night. For about 10 or 12 years, I drank 6 to 8 cans in the winter,

and 10 to 12 cans in the summer - daily.

But NO MORE of that! (the caffeine I was talking about drinking the

other day was a couple cups of coffee and some Luzziane tea ... found

out that's not good, either).

For those of you who ever fall off whatever wagon you're on, don't

beat yourself up. Just think of me and you'll be proud of yourself,

I'm sure. {:-\
