    Do you have to go to the coffee shop? Do you work there part time or something? Have you ever heard of teecino? My dh used 1/2 teecino and 1/2 coffee to wean himself off. He's been coffee free since Sept. ( :

    green tea works wonders as well. Take it from a caffiene/coffee lover, it ain't easy but it can be done. The best way to kick it is make sure you're nourishing yourself with fresh organic fruits/veggies a lotsa purified water. Soon you will be feeling so high on the raw, you'll forget all about coffee and sugary delights.
    You can do it!

    omg! I just gave up a CRAZY coffee addiction (3 hours sleep/night, running on 8+ cups of coffee/day, worked at a coffee shop for 4 years, etc...). I just gave it up 5 days ago.... if I can, you can!! Make it easier on yourself, switching to black tea, then yerba mate, then green, then finally white. This really works! :) Oh yeah, and drink LOTS of water :)
