1. I nurse a fairly significant caffeine addiction myself.

2. I tried to cut down one time, but a funny thing happened
the number of drinks went down but the sizes got MUCH bigger :rofl:

sounds like another substance I tried to "manage" for years :evilgrin:

3. Raises hand!
Me too. Am trying to do 'one cup' a day, but that involves making a 6 cup planger full of coffee and drinking it all, filling the cup before I get the bottom, so it's really just a little top up!

4. I don't worry about it. I drink a pot a day...
I never was thrown in jail for drinking too much coffee.

7. Coffee's either a problem or it isn't
I just make sure I drink real good coffee. I still drink quite a bit of it. Usually 3 cups before work, one before lunch, and maybe/maybe not one before 4:30 but always one after dinner, sometimes two.

So about cups a day, usually tall cups. I can sleep at night.

So quit? Cut down? I would need a good reason to want to.

8. I have tried giving up coffee many times
I have never had any luck. I consider it my last addiction.
Whenever I try to quit I get headaches that stop me dead in my tracks.

So I gave up. I believe that if I wanted to quit completely, I would have to go
somewhere and have someone take care of me for a few weeks while I got over the addiction.

Maybe someday I'll do it. Not today.

10. I've had maybe four sips of coffee in my life.
I spat it out each time.

It's repulsive to me, but I just took a coffee commitment on Monday nights. I hope it's not terrible - well, not terrible to anyone else, it's already terrible to me.
