For me that old saying is true, "A day without coffee is like a day without sunshine". I don't think I could survive a day without my coffee. I have worked really hard to cut down on how much I drink a day but I certainly could not stop drinking it altogether. How would I become alive and a thinking person without the caffeine rush of my morning coffee? How could I sit down and write without my trusty cup of coffee by my side? It may sound like I am addicted and yes, I admit that I am, but I am loving the addiction. Call me crazy but I would rather give up anything for my coffee. Are there other folks out there in myLot land addicted to coffee and loving it?

I drink the decaf - and sometimes just the smell of coffee in the percolator is enough to put a smile on my face.

I tried decaf. It didn't give me that zing I needed. Plus I ended up with a headache.

As much as I love my coffee, I think you are lucky to get away from it.

@HazySue ..He said one cup of coffee a day is ok but another cup or more is not good for me because he knows that I usually got palpitation and hard breathing if drinking too much coffee

@m_audrey6788 if it is affecting you in that way I would limit it to one cup a day.

A day without Dr Pepper is migraine for me. I don't like coffee at all.

I'm hooked on caffeine but I prefer mine cold in the form of a soda. I'm trying to cut down but its hard.

I started with soda and moved to coffee somewhere along the line.

I have a coffee and Dr. Pepper addiction. They do the same thing for me in the morning. But I can't drink coffee after about 10a. Then it is Pepper for me.

I like my coffee but I'm not addicted, I've had to go a week without any so I drank water with lemon instead. Still, I prefer my cup of coffee if possible.

I developed the coffee habit during my university years. I have tried to break the habit. Not because I think drinking coffee is bad. It's a matter of will power. Can I be strong and give up something I really enjoy? The answer is NO! I've tried. I'm weak. I wake up every morning with purposeful intent to get a cup of coffee to start my day. But if I'm trying to resist and I get a smell of coffee wafting through the air, my will power is crushed. I totally give in. Gotta have my java!

I have never been able to stop drinking coffee. As far as vices go it is one that I am willing to overlook in myself. I enjoy my coffee.

I can't survive a day without coffee. A day without coffee is incomplete. Coffee is so "COFFEE".

I can go without drinking coffee, but I still need some kind of caffeine. Otherwise, I can't function.

So, you get your caffeine from tea. You are getting a lack of caffeine headache/ They can be awful.
