I drink far too much coffee and in the morning i cant go without having one!?!


Question:

I drink far too much coffee and in the morning i cant go without having one!?

It doesnt wake me up or stop me from sleeping as i think i am probably immune to it now but i rely on it too much. Is there anything else that is like coffee and tastes as good but isnt as bad for you that i could drink? Are there any good substitutes?
I drink herbal teas in the evening but dont like drinking them during the day.

Oh yeah I know... I LUV coffee, but I don't drink it much any more. About 10 years ago I started having chest pains off and on, and I was a young healthy guy. My oldest son told me "Pa, you're drinkin' too much coffee!"
I didn't want to admit it, but I finally agreed to swear off it for awhile.
Sure enough when I quit drinking coffee for a few days the pains went away and have never come back
After that I might have a few cups per week, but not the 5-6 cups I used to have every morning.
I do miss it, though.
Try coffee mixed with chicory, like New Orleans style. Chicory is a vegetable with a coffee-like flavor but without caffeine.
Luzianne was a favorite, but it seems hard to get in our area, (FL) It has a lot of chicory added and is milder.
You may try "Eight O'Clock" coffee. It used to be "A & P" and is very mild. Good luck, I definitely feel for you!

Switch to decaff and see how you get on.

Coffee is good for you!!! Helps stop cancer

Try decaffinated. My husband drinks loads of coffee and has 3 teaspoons per cup! I weaned him slowly onto decaffinated and he can't tell the difference! I haven't told him!

Consuly a professional counsellor immediately. You are going down the lane.

no i suggest you take like a vacation and go cold turkey since u addicted

My dad used to have to have coffee in the morning when he got up, but he managed to get himself off it and now has a chilled glass of fresh, tangy pink grapefruit juice to wake himself up every morning - he can't go to work without it!

If it's the flavour you are craving, try some of the substitutes, like Bambu or dandelion or acorn coffee. I don't think there's a huge amount of taste difference myself, but I think packet coffee generally tastes like pond water anyway so don't really know the difference!

Have you tried having ordinary or Roobois tea instead?
