    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.

    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.

    Extremely. I wouldn't do it.
    Edit: Yeah I'd get over it after a bit. But I still wouldn't do it.

    Yeah. Two words - caffeine withdrawal.

    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.

    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. o:)

    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.

    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.

    If you had to give up your coffee for an entire month and could only replace it with plain water how miserable would you be?

    Not sure because I might be unconscious the entire month.

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

    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 now :smile:

    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 lol

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    There would be violence if I had to give up my coffee. 7ad71f5be9240c7fa8447952eb1607f3.jpg
