,

You ARE an addict and should never go cold turkey! Those headaches

are nasty! Why not wean down gradually? Although personally, I

would never give up coffee. I've given up everything else, but still

drink one cup in the a.m.

Unfortunately, I have had to quit caffeine and it was really hard for me since I

love the

taste of coffee. I still slip up once in a while but when I do I really feel it.

I do feel that caffeine very negatively affected my energy levels by the next

day. I would

feel great from the caffeine rush while I drank it, but the next day I paid for

it with

crushing fatigue. I do think I was jerking my adrenals around with caffeine.

I do still drink decaf but try to limit that, too, and 2-3 cups of decaf don't

seem to affect

me like caffeinated coffee (but it sure tastes horrible LOL!)

Caffeine is a stimulant, which is why they don't want pregnant women using it in

any form. I'm sure I trashed my adrenals with caffeine while in college. I've

been on and off caffeine since then, but I've been " clean " for the last few

years. Now if I have " real " coffee, my stomach burns--so that's my incentive.

I love coffee, but drink decaf. Of course, if you drink *good* decaf. you don't

notice the difference so much, but you do have to put up with the nimrods who

rag on you about " unleaded ain't no fun. "

Now that I have almost entirely switched to decaf, I use flavored

coffees. It helps make up for the lack of flavor and off flavor of

decaf. And I only use half and half in mine, a good half and half with

no carrageenan, which really affects the flavor and mouth feel of cream

and half and half, to me. Plus I " m sensitive to it.

The longer I've been on decaf, the less I notice the flavor issue. But

I'd love to be able to go back to real coffee again, simply for the taste.

I can't drink the robusta bean coffees at all, whether decaf or not, LOL.

Plus the kindly folks who will tell you about all the toxic residues in

decaf. I don't want to give up my coffee though. Switching to decaf was

the total extent of the coffee sacrifice I'm willing to make. Maybe

dumb, but my diet is so restricted due to allergies and sensitivities,

and avoiding sugar and too many carbs, etc, that I'm at my limit. A

person has to have some enjoyment.

And, to paraphrase Mark Twain, I want to be sure I still have some bad

habits to give up on my deathbed. LOL

Here's how I see it: eat right, exercise, live the good life, die

anyway. So yes, we all need to keep SOME joy in our life!

Well I will not give up my coffee either! And I have developed a taste

for the BEST coffee! I hve to say that www.deansbeans.com has some of

the best I have ever had anywhere and they have decaf that even tatses

good! I have been buying my coffee from them for about the last3-4 years

and it is great! All organic too so alot of the problems in coffee are

just not there.
