I used to drink coffee a lot when I was a student and also when I worked at the call center. Its not that I am addicted to it but just used it to stay awake for a long time. Just like when I was a student I had to stay awake to review my lessons before the exam. And also had so. much coffee whe I started working at the call center. I always get sleepy working in the conputer while calling on the phone. So I always grab a coffee every coffee break. In my previous workplace you can choose to buy from vendo machine or buy a 3 in 1 sachet and a disposable cup in from the pantry. Then you get an instant coffee. I remember I have 2-3 cups of coffee everyday just to keep me awake. I was doing that for almost a year until I got an acute gastritis.. I rushed to the nearest hospitla clinic and the doctor prescribe medication for acid, for heartburn and for dizziness. I hate feeling and even though I was taking, they didn't really cure me. They just manage my symptoms then when I stopped my medication my symtoms were still there. Later I decided to modify my lifestyle.. I avoided spicy, fatty, and highly acidic foods. I also tried herbal smoothies.. Anyway going to the topic I no longer drink coffee now eventhough I am surrounded by coffee lover people. My fiance can take upto 5 cups of black coffee in day. I am actually encouraging him to slow down in his coffee habits.. For my dad I bought him a decaf so it wont be too harsh for him cause he likes drinking coffee too. How about you guys? Do you get addicted to coffee to?

I like it but I am not addicted to it. I don't have it regularly. I enjoy it when I have my husband for company.

It is understandable for call center people to be addicted to coffee because it is what helps them keep awake when on duty, specially on graveyard shift.
Drinking too much coffee can really make our stomach, acidic. I didn't wonder you had acute gastritis. Just avoid those that can aggravate those.

I love my coffee in the morning. My boyfriend makes me coffee and brings it to me in bed. Depending on the way you look at the situation I could be addicted to my coffee....
