I think I've done it!

I think I've kicked my caffeine and coffee habit! It wasn't my original plan, but seems to be the outcome. I love coffee, have one in the morning while getting ready, another for the road, and then one at recess while the littles are outside at work. Over the last month and a half I've cut down to a REAL one in the morning and decafe ant other time. Now if at all i have a decafe coffee with a dribble of skim milk. Small little victory for some, but a big one for me.  Getting ready for the big day, whenever it may be!!!

Hi Robin.  That's something I need to work on, too.  I've been drinking 2 coffees in the morning and 2 teas in the afternoon since I was a teenager (more than 40 years)...  that's gonna be a toughie.

I love coffee! The unfortunate thing the brand of coffee I've made for the last three years doesn't have decafe at our local grocery store anymore. This could be part of how easy it's been!!! I'm a creature of habit I guess! 

Good for you! That is huge!

Thank you!

Awesome job.  All these little things that you can change in advance will just make your journey that much easier. Keep up the good work and you will be ahead of the game.

I've never had a coffee but am addicted to my one cup of tea a day and I get a horrible head ace without that cup.  I was in my thirties when I slowly started with the tea and the caffeine is such a powerful drug I could feel it impact my heart ie it made my heart beat faster. So congrats on your victory that is a big deal and I'm sure you will feel better free of that drug something I too need to give up

Congrats Robin, I too love my hot drink the a.m. Tea it was for me. So I bought decaf and add a little milk and splenda. I also gave up my beloved diet pepsi. I used to live on it......and talk about caffeine. Its loaded with it. I did have a headache for a week but it went away after that. We dont realize how much caffeine we take in until we give it the boot. You should be very proud, its a great accomplishment. 

Thank you! And good for you too, Pepsi too is a vice! I'm sure we'll do better without!

Good for you Robin, I was almost a week before surgery before I kicked the caffeine, but I finally have and I love decaf. If has great flavour.
