quitting coffee

-
I was getting very tired of having a headache on my only day off work as my body was used to having a couple of coffees every morning by 5:00 AM. If I slept in to 8:00 I would wake up with a mind splitting headache.

When I was diagnosed with Tinnitus my doctor recommended that I quit caffeine as it was a stimulant causing the Tinnitus to escalate so I started drinking only decaf (Swiss Water Decaffeination Process Only)

The first week I had brutal headaches, but thank God, no more headaches on my day off…
 
No headache issues on the weekends. I have coffee 5 days a week, then skip the weekends. Usually on vacation I skip another week of coffee. Seems like it works better during the week if I go 2 days without.
 
Today will be the fifth day in a row with no coffee, energy drinks, or alcohol for me. Feeling good, actually. Apple juice in the morning instead of coffee, tea in the evening in place of scotch.
 
I quit adding steamed milk to mine. Just for this morning. Straight espresso.

wow, tea instead of scotch, that should have a big effect on your health
you'd be much better off to just eat an apple in the morning
studies show black coffee is good for the liver, look it up
caffeine is mild analgesic and stimulant, I love the stuff

not only will you live longer, you will be bored out of your mind, so it will feel much longer too
 
I own an Espresso Machine and would hate the thought of giving up my morning Cappuccino. But outside of that I don't drink and eat pretty healthy.
 
2 cups in morning, another when i get to shop, then one at 10:00
And another with lunch. Or for lunch. Too much?
Weekends way more. i get stressed without the coffee, and decaf doesent agree with me.

I should quit. And cigarettes too.

The coffee is nothing compared to the cowboy killers. Forget about all else IMO, and quit the cigs. The tar kills the aveoli and cilia cells in the lungs, leading to emphysema and bronchitis. If you quit in time, those cells can regenerate, although the aveoli slowly. Those are the tiny balloon-like cells that exchange O2 and CO2. The final stage of COPD is hell on Earth. The lungs can no longer exhale CO2 and every breath takes much effort. To add insult to injury, since most of the cilia cells are dead, the lung passages are inflamed and swollen, and restricted or blocked from phlegm that can't be moved out. That's when whistling is heard. If you hear whistling when you breath, it's a sign of bronchitis. If you cough during the night, likely you have some stage of COPD. Don't forget about punishing the heart, and now it appears the pancreas too.

The benefits of coffee on the liver don't decrease if you drink too much. It's the side effects of too much caffeine that is to be avoided.
 
Yeah....me too. My one 24oz. for the day. getting some decaf today to cut this black silk Folgers. Wife smoked when I met her. How I hooked up with a smoker was beyond me but she quit before she got prego....as planned. Cold Turkey and only 1 in 20 years..stupid old girl friend took her out and lit up at her old haunt, but that was it. I instantly knew when she came home and she was very disappointed that she caved for that 1.
