Guest guest Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 hi Irene, I've been trying to go off coffee for decades. I've gone off it successfully many times, but i always end up going back on it for one reason or another. I've tried every method, including yours. i just don't like the taste of decaf. caffeine actually has a flavor to it, so to enjoy coffee i need the caffeine in it. what I'm currently doing is trying to drink Teechino, an herbal coffee with no caffeine, and you can mix the two and gradually wean. but it's really a roasted carob drink, so it tastes like carob and nothing like coffee, but it's not bad. what i have found, is, if i wake up, after having enuf sleep, at dawn or before dawn, i don't need coffee to wake up. but if i sleep way past dawn i wake up groggy. i wonder why this is? must have something to do with melatonin/serotonin. laura On Wed, 16 Jun 2004 08:24:24 -0400 (EDT) " Irene " <iclark@...> writes: , I have started reducing my caffeine by adding a little decafe coffee to my regular coffee each day. I'm now using more decafe than regular coffee. I'm hoping after I'm no longer using regular coffee, I can reduce the amount I drink. This is the only caffeine I drink other than a cup or two of tea per week. All I can say is that I love my coffee so don't know if I'll ever be able to give it up entirely.
