It is the thing I get up for in the morning & I do love it. I've been trying to cut back lately with no success. I'm going to try alternating my afternoon coffee with: 1. Hot Roobios Tea w/ cream 2. Steamed milk w/ honey & spices 3. Teachino with cream & honey Reading everyone's comments really shows how addicting it is. It is the thing I get up for in the morning & I do love it.

It seems that all I've read on coffee has said that it's not bad for you. It's good to hear the facts you listed, even though it's hard to give up the caffeine! I've been drinking too much since my daughter was born, to get me through the day with so little sleep, but I'm finding that I need to cut back again. Maybe I'll have to try some of the alternatives you listed. :) Great post. It seems that all I've read on coffee has said that it's not bad for you.

I dearly love my coffee. I have tried getting used to the water decaf but I've realized that it's the caffiene buzz that I like. My kids even call it my 'happy juice'! :-o Horrible - I know! I am thankful that I've found the water decaf and that I can usually wean myself off the regular when I have a cold or am pregnant. But I think that the other thing I like about it is the wonderful, thick raw cream! It seems to keep me from snacking through the day. I am glad to give these other substitutes a try so thanks for sharing them! I'm down to 2 cups per day and working towards zero! :-) .-= mom24´s last blog ..<a href="http://heritage-academy.blogspot.com/2009/12/4-year-old-gets-thankgiving-feast-for.html" rel="nofollow">4 year old gets a Thankgiving feast for his birthday!</a> =-.

I indulge maybe a couple times a year, if that. I do love rooibos tea though! I give it to my daughter, because besides being yummy and caffeine-free, it also helps digestive upset and allergies. Pretty awesome stuff! I was actually never a coffee drinker. I indulge maybe a couple times a year, if that. I do love rooibos tea though!

My poor husband had to make his coffee out on the back porch so I couldn't smell it! After having my son 6 years ago the aroma no longer made me ill, but it never really drew me back in. Since then I have been a tea drinker... tea has such wonderful health benefits and still has some caffeine (how much depends on whether you drink white, green, oolong or black) Now I can't start my day without one of my favorite teas and enjoy finding new and wonderful variations. There are so many different teas and each one tastes so unique... you are sure to find one that you love and it is good for you!

My main problem is not even really the caffeine addiction - I just love the taste of straight black coffee. It ministers to me.

I love Stash Teas which I mentioned in a reply earlier. They have such a variety. One of my favorites right now is a decaf pumpkin spice black tea that is wonderful! I fell back into the habit of my coffee when I returned to work after having my daughter because it was so easily accessible. I need to get back off of it!
