as addicted to coffee and/or caffeine as i am?

i was just realizing how badly i am actually addicted to coffee and wondered if i was the only one.

if anyone else is as much a coffee lover as i, try starbucks new blonde roast. i am SO obsessed! it is the smoothest and mildest coffee i have ever tried.

I used to be addicted to caffeine so bad. I had to slowly wean myself off of it... it was horrible. I still drink a cup of coffee or tea a day, but that's nothing compared to how much coffee/diet soda I used to drink in college.

My absolute favorite is Starbucks' Christmas blend... I bought 10 bags of it when it went on sale after the holidays hahaha

I love Dunkin Donuts. I could drink their coffee all day everyday. So Yes, I am with you.

I drink a cup of coffee every morning and I look forward to it everyday!! Sometimes I have a small cup at work around 3 pm to give me an extra burst of energy for kickboxing. However I feel like I am immune to the caffeine. I also like making my own so I know that it is not a 300 calorie cup of coffee. I use fat free french vanilla or fat free Italian sweet creme coffee mate.

Nope, I don't drink pop nor coffee. Pop gives me stomach ache and coffee just has a bad after taste- kind of tastes like meat in my mouth after few minutes!

My dad is terribly addicted to coffee. Even when we travel- the first thing we all have to do in the mornings is to find him a coffee otherwise this is him:

I remember spending like 2-3 hours in Africa to find him a cup of coffee. I totally do not want to be addicted!!!!

I am not so much addicted to coffee but definitely to soda. I try and go at least 3 days in between but after that I go crazy! I am not sure if it is so much from the caffeine or the sugar though.

Mekiakoo that's hilarious! I love the pic.
I'm not a huge coffee drinker and I can't imagine paying more than $2 for a coffee so no Starbucks coffee for me. We actually have a Keurig and I'm slowly becoming an addict. I make my own lattés, much more cost effective

owengirl996 · February 2012

I HAVE to have it in order to stay awake at work lol so I guess that's addicted? I only drink about one cup a day-I tend to drink 2 on weekends, though, throughout the entire morning. At work I'm on the phone a lot, so it takes me a long time to drink a cup (8-10 oz).

I always use fat free coffee mate powder, and Truvia. It doesn't taste nearly as good as a Dunkins regular (cream and sugar), but it still works! I do always take flavored coffee from the Keurig to work, though. On the weekend, FI will make a big pot of unflavored since he doesn't like it, and I will usually splurge and use real flavored coffee mate with sugar and fat lol

butterflyjumper1 · February 2012

mekiakoo your story is hilarious!!! i am totally the same way...i took packets of starbucks via with me to the bahamas last month JUST IN CASE i couldn't find a cup of coffee in the mornings!! turns out there are two starbucks in the atlantis so i was worried for nothing

i am so glad i am not the only one who is addicted though! lately i have just been ordering mistos from starbucks. they are half coffee - half nonfat steamed milk. i love my coffee really milky and smooth and you only get calories from half a cup of milk, no flavorings or stuff that is bad for you. they are way cheaper than lattes too!

madisonpenny my parents have a keurig and i LOVE playing with it when i am at their house! fiance and i registered for the same one and are hoping some of our friends go in on it together or something since it is one of the things i REALLY want off of our registry!

Madisonpenny · February 2012

I got the platinum edition from costco 2 christmas' ago and love it but I was disappointed that it didn't froth milk like the tassimo does until I discovered that keurig also makes a milk frothier! I was really happy once I found that out.
I like that you can use regular coffee with it and I just buy flavoring syrups to add or just put some maple syrup instead of sugar.
When my brother would visit he'd always ask for a coffee so i bought him a keurig this year for Christmas and he said it was the best gift he got even thought he never asked for one.

FI and his grandmother both drink an insane amount of coffee IMO. I don't drink coffee at all - the taste is just blech to me.

I am, however, addicted to diet coke.

amygodfrey10 · February 2012

Coffee not so much, I only drink starbucks mochas and things like that every once in awhile. But soda.... so addicted! I started to cut back this week. Tomorrow will be a week with no soda. I'll be rewarding myself with one tomorrow since it's the end of the week and FI comes home from his work trip. I used to drink dr pepper just about every day. It's been soooooo hard to go without, i'm tempted by the case above our fridge. I'm such a wimp, it's only been a week. Haha.

bridetobe71412 · February 2012

Totally addicted.

You know how I know? When I had to cut out caffeine the week before my juice cleanse and I had the WORST HEADACHES EVER for the whole entire week. That was literally the hardest part of the cleanse!

I now drink one cup a day, because honestly my job is sometimes too complicated for me to be hazy.

dramaqueen91087 · February 2012

I don't drink caffine at all. I've never liked coffee. I used to be addicted to caffinated soda (I drank about 4 20 oz bottles of mountain Dew a day). Then my senior year of college I realized how bad this was and completly cut caffine out if my diet. I still drink soda but only non-caffinated like sprite or orange. Its so much healthier. Plus now if I need to stay up one bottle of coke will work. Yesterday I had to have coke with lunch becuase the vending machines were out of everything else, I barely slept last night.

Rebis58 · February 2012

I've never been super addicted, but I was to the point where if I didn't get my cup in the morning I'd get a pounding headache all day. One time, I accidentally bought decaf without noticing it, and couldn't understand why I felt like crap all week haha.

I started to get symptoms of an ulcer, and caffiene is something that can trigger ulcers. I also started to feel really anxious and restless, and obviously caffiene can trigger that as well. So I cut coffee completely out and now drink black tea every morning, and a green tea in the afternoon if I need it. Still caffiene but a lower amount.

I will still get a coffee now and then as a treat to myself, but usually only on the weekend when I'm not stuck behind a desk all day and can actually go and vent my energy somewhere!

michelle11988 · February 2012

I'm terribly addicted to coffee. I think I'm going to do a cleanse this summer after the wedding and get off of it. I have 3 cups a morning and then sometimes need them in the afternoon as well. I'm practically immune to the caffeine, love the taste, and have migraines that make me nauseous if I don't get my coffee so something has to get done about it.

ajmom2two · February 2012

I'm not a crazy coffee drinker but I am addicted to Starbucks. I love their flavored mochas and I get a hot chocolate there at least 4 times a week! Its kinda crazy. No place else taste the same to me though for hot chocolate. I have switched to skim with no whip to cut some of the calories in the last few weeks. That will probably be my only indulgence over the next 5 months while I am on a strict whole foods only diet.

I kinda want a Keurig for my birthday this month. We will see if FI gets it for me or not.

cmhutchison22 · February 2012

I don't like coffee. I hate the smell of it brewing. I do have a soda when I wake up but I usually only have one soda a day. I have cut that back from 3-4.

Elinetrouwt · February 2012

I cannot drink caffeine for health reasons. Luckily, I don't like coffee at all, but I had to cut back on black tea as well (can drink some once in a while). Yesterday I was at this thing for work though where I had to stand for a while and suddenly felt like fainting. I really needed sugar so I drank a coca cola, which I really miss. Bad, it gave me pain all day

BmoreBride311 · February 2012

I'm addicted to coffee, as well. I love pretty much all kinds, but lately FI has been making Turkish coffees on the weekends at home and I LOVE them!

I'm just worried about the whole teeth staining thing. I am considering cutting myself off from coffee (and just drink green teas) for a month before the wedding. I'm not sure if it would really help or be worth the stress.
