That was actually a year ago and yes I've made a permanent shift in caffeine consumption. I no longer drink coffee and have dramatically reduced my caffeine in take. Sounds like a post to write.

I found the fifth and sixth days to be the absolute toughest. The next week may not be much fun but I guarantee you'll feel better down the line. Be sure to read my later post on what I learned from the experiment. You can do it. Tell lots of people, focus on what you are gaining and don't look back. Let me know how it goes for you.

I couldn't wean of it. I was told to avoid it altogether. Yes I love caffeine but I knew I had to stop so I went from 900mg to nothing. Yes it was hard but it had to be done. I had a headache and cravings, felt sick and shaky. I am on my 6th day of no caffeine. Sometimes I get craving for coffee but I used to drink everything with caffeine. It is very hard but I am breaking the habit. I thought if I faced any addiction it would be to scratch cards not caffeine. I got told to avoid caffeine by the hospital. I couldn’t wean of it.

Coffee is certainly one of them. I'm not sure I would consider it as the worst next to nicotine, alcohol or other more intense drugs. I personally witnessed my father passing from lung cancer after a lifetime of smoking. Talk about a tough addiction, wow. We as a society have become very good with addictions. We'll get addicted to food, drinks, tv, you name it.Yeah, there's many addictions, I just wouldn't put coffee as number one. Folks have been addicted to many things. Coffee is certainly one of them.

No doubt there are some downsides. Cherann, I think some of those reports about the benefits of coffee are funded by the U of Starbucks. No doubt there are some downsides.
