How can I live without caffeine?

I was once a coffee addict but since I have learned that coffee is not good for our health. I switched immediately to chocolate drink. I made myself busier not to think of coffee again.

I know how addictive caffine can be,and when you are going to another busy day at the office or an university or college it it really tempting to get some coffee to help keep awake.When i am going to college in the mornings i always stop at Tim's and get an extra large with 3 cream and three suger.I have 2 or sometimes 3 a day and i feel i may be overdueing it somedays.I am trying to cut back and hope to limit myself to 1 a day if i can.

Regardless, when it's an addiction, certainly will bring losses. Caffeine addiction can cause our bodies shaking, increased blood pressure, irregular heartbeat or sleep disorders. My advice, follow the advice your daughter but don't immediately stop drink caffeine because caffeine addiction must be stopped gradually. If not, you will experience headaches, migraines, lethargy, depression, and productivity become ineffective and inefficient.

Whoa! Wake up and smell the coffee...again! Coffee is not bad for you. It has health benefits. It can lower your risk of diabetes, Parkinson's Disease, colon cancer, cavities, and a plethora of other maladies. Read the research -- WebMD: http://men.webmd.com/features/coffee-new-health-food Harvard Medical School: http://www.health.harvard.edu/press_releases/coffee_health_benefits So YES! You do need your coffee for your health. Tell that to your daughter and pour yourself another cup.

Why you do not dream black tea. It is with coffee contens. If i can not drink coffee one hour later i have wake up i can feel my head is blow up! I have a terrable headache!!! I need my coffein DOSE!

i never drink cofee in certain time i drink it randomly and many times only i think i drink cofee 15 time in wholr my life iam now 23 years

Lots of people get some headaches if they drop caffeine too quickly. Hope you do not have to deal with those. Maybe your daughter needs to let you decide. I know that sometimes there are legitimate health reasons to avoid caffeine. But, other than that, I don't think it really harms you.

It is much easier to stop drinking coffee, if you do it slowly. You can after some time get the same effect with a very small amount of coffee. In the end you may not need the caffeine any more.. Coffee is addictive, but it is possible to diminish it in this way. Instead of coffee, I like to drink something that looks like coffee, either Bambu coffee from A.Vogel, if it is available in you country or some other drink with chicory that tastes a little like coffee. It tastes great with a little cinnamon and if you like, you can add just a little instant coffee to get the right feeling..

I'm a coffee lover myself. In fact, I just had one. You want some? Lol But good for you you're off caffeine. Maybe, I would follow you to the path of caffeine freedom soon. But for now, I'll have another cup later. Haha

Oh I feel for you. I can't imagine making it through a day without my coffee. The day just doesn't seem to start for me until I've had a cup. Not to mention the headaches ugh =(. Glad to hear you're making a go at it and I wish you the best of luck.

want some brewed coffee? we have it in the office and the good thing is its free .

I am also one of those people who cannot live without coffee. I am always sleepy and weak if I cannot drink my cup of coffee early in the morning. I cannot start a day without coffee.

I switched to hot black current juice as an alternative. Very refreshing and no caffeine. You will soon get over the need for coffee.

i enjoy drinking coffee, too. i'm only a casual coffee drinker since i believe continuous consumption of any substance decreases its potency and might lead to negatory effects. i could advise you to try and drink decaffeinated coffee. you can in a way trick your mind to thinking you're taking in caffeine through the coffee but you're actually not. coffee is good for you because its not all caffeine, it also has other substances. but caffeine in itself is a stimulant, thats why you get perked up when you have a cup. but constant consumption dulls that effect, making you take in more to get that boost when you need it. one good example is my grand aunt. whenever she drinks a cup of coffee, she uses 5 sachets and no sugar. thats for just one cup of hot water. so if you really have that craving for the coffee taste but don't want the caffeine, go decaffeinated..:)

you can get caffeine other ways, I've had like 3 cups of coffee since last year... have a headache? often a sign you really were addicted to the stuff...

i LIKE A CUP OF COFFEE in the morning & sometimes i will fix me a cup in the afternoon but that's about all i drink. How old is your daughter? I wouldn't like my sons bossing me like that, lol.
