I have been trying to post this all day but my computer keeps closing the internet!

Anyway, the point is, is anyone finding it hard to give things up? I'm addicted to coffee (probably from being a student), and although i do not eat very much chocolate or drink much coke, and I drink juice/water as much as poss, I can't stay off the coffee. It would be torture.

Winter is coming which makes it worse. I always drink more coffee than juice in the winter.
 
Can you try caffine free coffee? I can't even stand the smell of DH drinking it right now
 
I couldn't drink it while sick either, except in Germany. Don't know what travelling does but it made me feel better. Suppose i could try decaf. That would mean buying two types of coffee though, and i'm not sure if I could do it, but will try.
 
ive switched to decaf coffee and tea as i drink loads of coffee it is a bit of a pain buying 2 lots but my blood pressure is quite a bit lower since swapping to decaf if you find it a bit expensive to buy your normal brand try the shops own most of them are actually nicer than nescafe :D xxx
 
i have stopped drinking coffee, as there is nothing better than a cup of coffee and a fag and I associate coffee with smoking so I don't want to have a cup in case I want a ciggie!!!

I was exactly the same had to stop the tea and coffee when I gave up smoking, I assiociate them with having a ciggie too.

:( how sad this sounds I used to love getting up on a cold morning and having a coffee with a ciggie.

No more tho :D
 
we never smoked in the house so I would get up, make my coffee and my toast, eat my toast whilst reading the paper and then take my coffee and sit on my patio steps and have a smoke - ahhh thems were the days!!!!

I'm so glad its not only me!!

I sooooo need a night out with the girls, 20 cigs and quite a few beers! I used to go out every other weekend with the girls. Without alcohol, cigarettes and coffee, I feel like I've been on a 6 month detox!

Oh well, OH's got a lot of babysitting to do come Jan :wink:

I have gone off tea. Can drink it sometimes, but I always preferred coffee. My blood pressure is fine. I think it actually is a bit low, but is still normal.

I miss alcohol too. I am having a glass of wine at my graduation tomorrow at the wine and strawberries reception, and will probably have one or two drinks at Christmas, but not much.

I don't know how you do it! I haven't set foot in a pub since I found out I was pregnant. I just don't trust myself :wink: Also I would just sit there as moody as hell!

Cannot wait till next year, I really need a night out. Me and the girls have a huge night in Brighton planned for March (as long as I can leave my lil man for the night) and like you I'm going to get wrecked! :rotfl: (shouldn't take too much, a couple of beers should do it now!)

Yeh it is hard, but I get to catch up with my mates that way. besides we go up about 7 and I usually go home about 10 when everyone is starting to get wrecked lol and leave OH there. Then I shout at him for staying out and not coming home with me ha ha

Murder was when I went to Marbella last weekend for the weekend on a free be, free drink and I couldnt take advantage! Also going to lanzarote for a week in Nov where OH, His dad, his step mum, his bro and his GF are going and there all gonna be drinking everynight. This is the first ever holiday I dont actually want to go on!
