Change to decaf.
 
I gave up the usual coffee about 8 years ago and have stuck to decaf ever since. It was on doctors orders as I used to get panic attacks and coffee is apparently one of the triggers....it worked for me, cut my heart rate right down. If I have a 'normal' coffee now I can physically feel the effects, especially the racing heart. It also tastes like syrup to me now, I'd never change back to the real stuff.
 
Apparently it takes about 6 cups of decaf to equal 1 standard coffee. Cant lose really.

3 cups decaf = 1 cup regular coffee!

I grew up drinking coffee with chicory such as Luzianne,French Market,or Cafe' DuMonde.It tastes stronger than regular coffee but it has half the caffeine and the chicory is a natural stomach soother.The problem is if you don't live in Louisiana you are not gonna' be able to buy it already brewed.
 
 Buy a cheap coffee maker and a large thermos and brew a pot in the morning and take the rest with you.Your stomach will feel better and you'll save $190.00 a month.


Great advice, but I'm from the Boston area - actually live close to where Donny and Mark Walhberg grew up.

I'll see if I can find it in the stores.

I havent tried the decaf yet.  Not sure if it will be potent enough.  Good idea though...it's worth a shot.

This is a pretty big decision
 
You'll have to give it your full attention
 
Make sure you make a well thought out, alert decision
 
I'd have a cup of coffee first, just to make sure...............

Have any of you guys been able to beat the coffee addiction?   If you have, toss some tips my way.  I need to beat this.

I'm really not goig to read a 40 post thread about coffee, so I didn't.

Why do you need to stop? in my 20s through my late 30s sold stocks and financial products. Made your 5-6 cups a day seem like eye droppers.

You'll have a life change that will come and it'll stop. Enjoy you're coffee and stop being a wimp about it. You'll stop eventually...at least the amounts..............

Shit dude, unless you are around a Starbucks that's full of lesbos, the girls are usually cute...

When I was a stockbroker, it was back when you could smoke in offices. I didn't. I just circled the coffee pot. Had my chair with a 20 ft extension , so that I could get to the coffee in case some turd farming sod buster had me on the phone too long.

I wish that coffee was remotely significant in my life to even fucking think about.........

Get a dog, a girl, a pet turtle or something. Sheesh!

Limit yourself to two large cups daily, preferably before 2 PM.  Three, max.   Then drink WATER, if you get off on those caffeine soft drinks you will not be helping yourself.  Water helps your digestion, A LOT.  Man up, do it.  I quit smoking cold turkey, you can limit your coffee. I still drink 2-3 cups a day, usually early.  Never tried to quit coffee but it bothers my digestion and sleep if I drink it later than 4 PM.  Good luck.
