So, I was worried that I had become addicted to the stuff, every morning pretty much for the past 5 years or so I’d have an extremely strong large what can probably be described as a quadruple espresso with another double added. That was when I made it at home, when at work it was literally a quadruple espresso. Can’t be good for you, right? So about a month ago I decided to have it only on alternate days with no change in mood or general feeling. Then about a week to 10 days ago decided to cut it out completely, noticed after a few days I was waking up after 7/8 hours without an alarm and generally felt more energised than before.
Today thought I’d have a cup to see how it made me feel, could feel my heart racing and had a mild headache. So In conclusion, no more coffee for me. Well, maybe the odd double espresso when out, but that’s it. None at home.

@trev33 saidA morning espresso is sacrosanct!

Though, I could do without the headache of making it.
Nevertheless, bully for you!
Everyone has their own habit to negotiate.
I'm struggling with chocolate addiction.
I exercise just enough to keep it viable.
@trev33 saidGave up coffee twenty years ago for health reasons. Don't miss it. Got to have a mug of tea with a full English breakfast though. Some things are sacred.

@wolfe63 saidAh chocolate, another thing I’ve cut back on considerably recently but just until I get back in shape then it’ll be back on the menu. Thing with chocolate, there’s people who can eat one square, put it in the cupboard and not look at it for a week, then there’s people like me who eat one square, have intentions of putting the rest in the cupboard but just end up eating it. So, stopped buying it.

@trev33 saidover the many years i have been drinking various caffeinated beverages my body's desire for the drug has gone up and down according to my intake
None at home.
the more i drink, the more i want
the less i drink, the less i want
the main drawback to excessive consumption is a headache when withdrawal is encountered
moderation is key

@very-rusty saidThat's too much caffeine in one hit. Try to stagger it throughout the day.
I have two extra-large coffee at Macdonald's drive through every morning. I find if I go a few day without one I get a headache.
