It's been nearly 4 months now without coffee, and only two relapses. I can now address the deeper issues beneath my lack of energy that are still present. I'm seeing an acupuncturist, have had thyroid levels tested (a little low), and noticing the real peaks and valleys to the days. Caffeine is as much of a drug as anything else, and I am very glad to be out of its grasp. Anyone else have some experience or questions to share? Point taken.

Coming off coffee and seeing the real benefits takes a month and sometimes much more; it is a disservice to make a posting like this and then totally abandon it.

Cool. I believe caffeine addiction is real (at least mine was). While I've never had a cup of coffee in my life, my caffeinated drink of choice was Diet Mountain Dew. Holy smokes was I hooked. I enjoyed your trio of posts on java. Hope you spark the conversation some time soon again regarding caffeine. Many thanks... I was looking for people blogging about caffeine and found your posts.

Please do not mistake me. I love coffee! I just keep it very limited. I do not drink coffee everyday, more like every other day. It does not mean that I have not considered cutting it out of my diet completely. I applaud your efforts! I look forward to hearing more about your findings. Keep up the good work! ...now I feel like a cup of coffee. I do not think that the term “java junkie” necessarily applies to me. Please do not mistake me. I love coffee! I just keep it very limited.

I am so happy for you. I had no idea that you were trying to "kick" coffee. I am amazed at how much better things seem to be for you without caffeine. This is particularly amazing considering it is only day three. I wish the best for you and hope that your path down caffeine recovery is fantastic. Wow! I am so happy for you.
