I had to drink coffee to get my ass up this morning.

This is huge. I very rarely drink coffee, and on the rare occassion when I do, I don't drink much because it makes me all jittery and weird.

But I had to have it this morning, and now I feel all old. :P

Know just what you mean. Myself, the lack of good rest is starting to get to me and I've been drinking the crack too. :/ Usually I'm so clean that two cups of green tea in a morning makes me jittery. Now I'm lucky if they'll revive me!

thing is, I used to drink soda like a fiend....straight up crackhead style. When I stopped, I went through withdrawals, complete with headaches, moodiness and sobbing. But looking back now, I'm thinking it might have been withdrawal from sugar as much as it was the caffeine, because even though it (coffee) woke me up, I feel like shit. My stomache feels like I swallowed nails. Ugh. And I'm still jittery. I had maybe 2 cups worth? I don't see how someone can drink an entire pot of it.

I never liked green tea but I think I might start drinking it instead. start using ginseng...something.

We went through the same thing with soda. We used to drink about a 2-liter a day (each!) and when we stopped a few years ago, I swear the withdrawals were worse than coming off cigarettes and liquor put together.

I need to get back into my green tea habit. I've slacked lately, and not having my tea every morning throws off my whole routine! It only has about 30-40% of the caffeine of coffee, and it's so much better for you!

oh, coffee makes my stomach ridiculous. it makes my entire system feel stale and dried out. if i need to wake up in the morning, i will usually do a sugar free energy drink, even though i know they're filled with yucky chemicals. sigh.

sigh. i need to get off coffee. i drink like 5 cups at least when im at work, though usually only one on my days off. i rarely get jittery though, and im ok when i dont have it (too lazy to make it sometimes lol) but i really really like it and it makes me feel great.
i dont think i can give up americanos. and i couldnt like have one once in a while cause then i would get jittery when i did have one.
i dunno, maybe im just gonna stick with this little vice for now and work on improving the rest of my diet and lifestyle :)

Tastes gross, smells GREAT.

Did you know that an Apple in the morning is more efficient in "boosting" you in the morning than coffee?

Look it up if you doubt it.

I'm a self admitted addict. I love coffee and continue to nurture our thirty year relationship. I know it's not so good for me, but it tastes soooo good. Fine ground and dripped through a mellita cone filter....that aroma...mmmmmmm.
