I don't drink much coffee as the stimulant effect sets off my anxiety. I have been actively avoiding coffee so far in my recovery because anxiety was a trigger for me to drink so avoiding something that makes me anxious which I could avoid was sensible.

However I did have a coffee for the first time two days ago. I handled it ok but it did still increase my anxiety albeit I managed ok. It's a shame as I love coffee but I just don't really like the strong stimulant effect. It makes me jittery too. So in recovery I drink lots of tea which doesn't stimulate me so much.
