For those who are coffee drinkers?

I think I would have to buy my own private island to live on because no one would be able to live with me.

I was a daily coffee drinker from around 13 years old until I quit at 31. By the end I was drinking 20oz of coffee that was basically sludge, super super strong.
Because of severe indigestion issues, I decided to swap it out for caffeinated black tea and it's been 2 years. It was rough, but I've had one tiny cup in those years and dealt with immediate stomach pain again.0 -
I work nights, so coffee and energy drinks were something I needed to stay awake for years. Now, it's basically just getting enough sleep and walking around whenever I get tired. I think I can manage without coffee.0

Edit: Yeah I'd get over it after a bit. But I still wouldn't do it.
Yeah. Two words - caffeine withdrawal.0 -
Just thinking about giving up coffee gives me a raging headaches and the heavy sads. I am down to only 1 cup of coffee each day (sometimes I may have 2 just depends what I have going on). I would never give up coffee completely unless I had to for some medical reason and I would not be happy about it. I would be like the Incredible Hulk for at least a week.

I don't think I'd be miserable but I wouldn't like it.
Last night my daughter challenged me to a day with no coffee in exchange for her behaving for a full day. Lolololol.0 -
I would probably end up in jail for murder. I gave it up for Lent one year and after about 3 days my family came to me with a big cup and held an intervention. I guess I'm not too pleasant when I withdraw.0

I would be fine.
I'm not very caffeine sensitive so I don't get the energy from it, at all. I just enjoy making mine sweet with Splenda and a few creamers..... almost like chocolate milk, lol.0 -
I had to for a little over two months when I was in basic training, over a decade ago. It was a miserable experience, and I am not ever going to do it again.
Actually, if you take the coffee intravenously, it doesn't count as drinking it, right? I could drink nothing but plain water for a month if that's the case. I know medics.0 -

Not sure because I might be unconscious the entire month.

I've done without it, and switched to tea before.0

Homicide.
Genocide.

I love coffee, but sometimes I'll drink it for a few days (12oz) and then won't for 2 or 3 days. It's doesn't seem to bother me. However, knowing I "couldn't" have it might make me crave it more and I'd be...sad :sad:
There are reasons people may have to give it up, cardiovascular disease of some sort, acid and ulcer issues, thankfully I'm not on of those. I am a person who could live without it surely, but I do love the smell and flavor of coffee with a little stevia and half and half. It's 8am, I think I'll make a cup now0 -
I just did this. Schedule was so hectic, I didn't get my morning coffee from April 1 until today. Today I had 3 cups and enjoyed every single drop. I had missed coffee but survived without it lol0

....dead I'm pretty sure0

That would be my basic reaction...sad rage...0 -
I would be able to. I don't want to, because I feel I am addicted to it. I have juiced in the mornings before though and I'm sure would feel equally energized if I did that. I recently cut down to a 1/2 pot a day from drinking an entire pot. Caffeine is just as addicting as anything else.0

OP you make me think sad thoughts0

Christ - this thread made me go brew a fresh press. OP, you've really put me in a funk.0

I would be divorced ;-)
I don't think my DH could survive me without caffeine....0 -
I gave it up one year for Lent... but I found myself drinking Coke in the mornings to put off the head aches. Don't consider that truly giving it up though as I just switched to something else. It still sucked.0
-
The day I have to give up my coffee would be the end of life for me, so no need to worry about what I would drink as a substitute.0
-
There are no words to describe the horror of that reality. I'd likely slip into a coma though, so at least I could cope with it in unconciousness.0
-
There would be violence if I had to give up my coffee.
