Coffee break is almost over

[Marjo]

I wanted to mention that I've been on a break from coffee for almost 60 days now. Just as a challenge to myself (which amuses me) to see if I can do it. I'm a huge coffee drinker normally. Next week Saturday is the 60th day, and on Sunday I can finally enjoy a wonderful cup of strong black coffee again!

At first I had headaches every day for about 2 weeks, but that's pretty much it, apart from having coffee-related dreams sometimes. I've been having black tea instead every day. And it feels like it's never quite right or enough! When someone has a cup of coffee at the office, I usually go and sniff it deeply...

So after next week Sunday I will most likely be in an exceptionally good mood.

Have any of you tried the same with anything? Coffee, cigarettes, sugar, alcohol....? How did it go? I know @viridis is doing his no-cash challenge this month!

I've tried them all over the years, cigs, coffee, whiskey, women, food....just makes you sad ultimately...

I do however have decaf tea / fruit tea and decaf coffee

I have de-caff Yorkshire Tea ... doctor's advice as my hands shake due to side effect of some of the tablets I take ... no jar of coffee in the house for years, but I drink a milky latte when out in town & have proper tea when out too ... I could not drink green tea when I lived in the Emirates, but now drink fruit / herbal teas at home ... have to give up chocolate = doctor's advice, so no more scoffing a big bar of Galaxy ... but ... going on my Gran's saying = anything in moderation will do you no harm ...= ... I'm having 1 chocolate from my Christmas stash after lunch & tea ... I don't like depriving myself ... I've never smoked & again am not supposed to drink but 1 G & T on the quiet is in order sometimes ...

I dislike coffee with a passion...so giving it up is no hardship for me at all.

However....if anyone tried to get me to give up tea...(two teabags and 3 spoons of sugar)  would make me very angry indeed...

Dont think i could give over drinking coffee .

@Poppysmum you've made me laugh :smileylol

With me, I ask my visitors 'How do you take your tea' ? ... = ... meaning weak, medium or strong + a little milk, medium or milky ... then there's the sugar = level, rounded or heaped teaspoon(s)

Otherwise it's usually like dishwater
