AHHHHHHHHHHHH

I'm trying to detox my body of caffine and sugar. I haven't had a coffee in 4 days and I feel like my body is moving in slow mo. The headaches were terrible and have only gone away today. The upside is that I am sleeping so much better, both falling and staying asleep. Has anybody else gone cold turkey off coffee? Do you ever feel normal again??

    lol.. I'm the complete opposite. I need alcohol to calm me down. I had coffee a few weeks back for the first time in years and had an anxiety attack from it. :lol:

    A couple of years ago, I just went on a water only thing. Stopped everything except for drinking on the weekend.

    But 2009 I bought a coffee machine, and can't live without it. Or else I will get a headache.

    Unless I have had a big night on the drink, I can't handle the smell of coffee..

    Why in the world would you want to give up coffee??? ;) I'm a complete coffee addict (I think I'm getting the shakes just typing about it), but I understand where you are coming from. I used to drink it 24/7, but I had to force myself to stop drinking it after seven or so at night, because I was having trouble sleeping. I wish you luck and hope you feel better soon! :)

    Thanks. I am wondering why right now! I could curl up on the couch and go to sleep right about now, but I can't still another 1/2 hour of work then pick kids up cook dinner, do laundry..... maybe I'll just crack open the wine when I get home.... then I really will be asleep on the couch :lol:

    I've had at least a cup every day for, I don't know, about 11 years.

    Honestly, I would drink it all day but it starts to bother my stomach after a while.

    I never started drinking it daily, I've maybe had 2 or 3 cups of coffee in my life. but I have had a few iced caps, maybe one or two a year.

    I weaned myself from regular Dunkin' Donuts to cream only, and now to light with milk. I'm almost, but not quite, ready to switch from a "large" to a "medium."

    Good luck to you. I don't think I could give up coffee...I know I don't even want to try. Without it, mornings at work would just be unbearable.

    Good luck to you! I go off coffee at least once a year, but never can stay off. It just tastes too damn good. But I can tell you you will feel normal again. The headaches suck, but that is just the detox. You are almost in the clear. 8-)

    I really have no desire to get off coffee. I love the taste, I drink it black so there are minimal calories, I don't have poor blood pressure, and I sleep just fine (when my son isn't waking me up). But I understand it gives lots of people problems.

    :shock:

    When I was pregnant with my firstborn I gave it up...very dumb thing to do...
    I felt extra terrible. :lol:
    I think if you drink a cup or so in the am it's ok pregnant or not.
    I could give up anything but my morning coffee.

    :lol::lol: Unfortunately I don't have any speakers on this computer, but watching it with no sound was hilarious! That was me less than a week ago. I never thought caffine affected me much but now looking back it was like being a speed sometimes! This is day 5 and I'm enjoying a herbal tea and feel pretty good.

    Thats why I decided to stop. In the middle of the day I would be fine a little hyper, but by 3:30pm I would be a mess, struggling to do much of anything.

    If you go cold turkey from caffeine your going to have headeaches but they will go away after a week or two. In the end you'll probably end up feeling a lot better than before but it will take a couple weeks. Also if you stay off it for a while, just a slight cup of joe will probably get you wired. Personally I can't give the stuff up, but I have cut back a bit and drink a lot more green tea.

    I love coffee...the smell, the taste...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
    reminds me of my dad, lots of cream and sugar. Used to drink americanos and 4 shot mochas all the time, now I just can't handle so much of it...now I get all shaky and the room starts to spin, kinda like when you're really tired and haven't slept in 2 days. So a mocha here and there....have to buy those coffee nips to tide me over when I get really bad cravings

    my caffiene addiction is satisfied with coke, or red bull
