    Hi all,

    Ive had a one coffee a day habit for the last siz or seven years that I can’t seem to shake. The main reason I want to quit is the anxiety/stress it gives me. Ive just tried to quit again, but sort of relapsed, so hopefully it hasnt undone most of the progress of recovery.

    Its hard to quit because its literally available on every corner, its socially acceptable. My brain always finds a way to get me to drink it again, the temptation is very strong. Meditation helps, but I still cant shake it.

    I just feel so emotionally numb and foggy without it, however I feel so much calmer off it and I sleep better.

    I feel it is holding back my growth, and I desperately want to overcome it.

    Does anyone else here avoid drinking coffee? I want to know its not all in my head.

    Dear Blake:

    Welcome back. Caffeine is physically addictive, so it is not all in your head, as you suggested. There is a lot of literature on the matter.

    Personally I didn’t drink coffee before my forties (an anomality, I imagine). I was very anxious way before I drank coffee, while not  on any stimulant drugs of any kind. Currently I am calmer than I was before in my life and I am drinking coffee, although not in the afternoons, mornings only, and quite a lot of it.

    I was wondering, if you would like to share, if you are still living with your mother?
