Drinking disorder - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Coffee! I was drinking about 12 cups a day.

I've been cutting down the caffeine for a couple of months and I'm now on 1/3 regular mixed with 2/3 decaf.

When that is finished I'm going to cut to 1/4-3/4.

I should be off of the regular coffee in a couple of months. I had to go slow because I get migraines if I don't.

I'm not as tired and my stomach is better. I'm still probably getting the same amount of caffeine as normal people drink, lol.

Hugs

I was being very bad with the caffeine too, MG. It was making my heart beat funny. I'm ever so much calmer now that I'm down to 24 oz a day. LOL And it's helped my diet. You have my sympathy.

ohhhh me to... as much as I've come to like the java, I had to cut back. Had those weird heart palpitations and terrible headaches, when I went down to just 2 a night.. rather, then, morning, noon, and night!

No wonder you were so wide awake when we used to lurk late at night here, LOL.

I get really "wound" on coffee if I drink two or three cups in a row.

I love my coffee too, and like you I used to drink way too much. I now only have 2 really good cups a day, but I also drink diet cola so that adds caffeine too. Now I'm trying the Crystal Lite mixes (sort of like Kool-Aid) and having it instead of cola at night.

Hugs
