Are you addicted to coffee?

[Burnt0utMum]

I clearly have an addiction and drink at least 4 cups a day. When I don't drink it I have no energy at all and feel awful. Trying to cut back but it's so hard when I feel this tired and have lots to do. Anyone else rely on coffee this much?

I despise tea do drink coffee and I do have a caffeine dependency now. I tried to cut it out but the headaches and tiredness were shit so I went back and it’ll be a cold day in hell when
I give it up again.

I'm not a fan of coffee, but I'm definitely a huge fan of caffeine! I have to be careful not to have it after 3pm or I'll be awake for ages.

Definitely. Just finishing my third 6 cup cafetière of the day.
I love coffee.

No, I don't drink tea or coffee, in fact no hot drinks at all. Tea is vile but I don't mind coffee, if I'm pushed to accept something. People get offended if I just ask for water, it's weird British thing, lol. I used to have a Coke Zero addiction, of about 4 cans a day which escalated over lockdown to about 8 cans. I went cold turkey, voracious headaches for about 3 days but I got through it and now I probably have 1-2 cans a week. I drink 3l of weak sugar free squash a day now as I'm dieting. I'm glad I cut myself off from caffeine as it's cheaper but I can't say it really worried me before.

Yes. I get headaches if I don't have at least two a day. I live in Victoria though.... absolutely amazing coffee here

I drink 3 cups a day, and decaf after that.
I am a complete arsehole without coffee.

I like drinking coffee for the taste, but I don't seem to have any ill-effects if I don't drink any, so I guess I'm not addicted.

I had had 4 cups before 10am this morning, and often drink over 10 a day I don't really feel addicted though. I just like the taste and drink mostly fairly weak instant. When I was pregnant and on occasions when I have been ill I don't fancy it and can happily not drink it for a while.

I love coffee, cafetière , espresso, Turkish on the hob, instant..
I don't buy it out of the house as I am far too tight
Probably have about 4-5 a day sometimes up to six.
Don't smoke, drink only a couple of units of alcohol every other week...but love my coffee

I switched to sainsbury's half caff ground coffee before switching to full decaff. I didn't get the caffeine withdrawal symptoms from going cold turkey.

Totally addicted 🤷‍♀️
I drink at least 15-20 mugs a day and feel shocking if I don't

Very addicted, I can cut down but it needs to be very gradual. E.g. Delaying first coffee by 15 more mins everyday, increasing gaps between cups. I love coffee, it will either be the death of me or the I live til 108

Yes, Costa coffee and it’s costing me a fortune! The problem is there is a Costa machine at work and. I regularly have a couple a day. They are cheaper than normal Costas but I worked out I was spending about £40 a month which is ridiculous.

Can’t seem to give it up though.

My God! Really? Do you have milk and sugar in that?

I drink more than 4 cups a day , don't consider myself addicted but maybe I should cut down

I limit myself to 3 per day.

Otherwise I end up having terrible palpitations, even with decaff.

I've got a Nespresso and love trying out different pods.

This has made me think, I probably am addicted. On average I drink maybe 8, rarely less, often more, double strength ground coffees a day, right up till bedtime.

I just love the taste of coffee, e.g., I would always choose coffee ice-cream, chocolates or cake etc as my preference.

I do get a bit desperate sometimes 😁, e.g., the first four of the morning or after a long meeting or shopping, but I don’t seem to get any withdrawal symptoms, and it doesn’t keep me awake.
