Oh, I envy you. I hate being a slave to the bean.

I think you should make an effort to get rid of coffee in your life then. Flick the bean, so to speak

If you’re making your own, try slowly blending in more and more decaf. Maybe start at 25% decaf and increase 25% each week. Later you can use a caffeine free sub and do this again (teechino, postum, chicory, etc)

Then like any other addiction, know that you can be susceptible to fall back quickly. Watch out for it, especially early on.

Good point. Next time I hit up my bean broker I'll pick up some beans to blend a half-calf. Typically when I try to get on the wagon I'll cycle to tea and cut back on that (until I find myself drinking tea in the shower)

Try to stop once in a while. I was addicted too and thought I couldn't stop. Then one time I stopped and it worked. Idk why it worked. I do know cafeïne is a useless drug. You realize that after you've quit.

Thanks! I'm glad you went crispy clean--no caffeine! I find it hard to write code and get in the zone without a little extra oomph.... But you are right, now is always a good time to try and cut back. Unfortunately I just moved in with someone who has a really nice espresso machine :(
