Cigarettes Not Smoked

16 years ago 0 +0 / -0 911

John, I posted a year ago about my coffee tasting bad. I returned it to the store, bought some more, same problem. Coffee and cigarettes just go together. Coffee is just not the same anymore. Switching to tea sounds like a good idea since I really seem to be perpetuating a stupid routine by drinking coffee in the morning and not enjoying it. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]1/16/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 376 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 7,520 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1,052.80 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 37 [B]Hrs:[/B] 16 [B]Mins:[/B] 24 [B]Seconds:[/B] 20

When I quit smoking I also quit the coffee and the diet coke. Coffee wasn't too bad, about 2, sometimes 3 cups a day, and never after noon. Diet coke was horrid - about 6 to 8 a day at least and more on weekends. I didn't have a problem giving them up because I thought they would be triggers - have a coffee, have a smoke. I now drink 2 - 3 pots of green tea a day and find myself in my car craving a green tea. Silly, but who knows, maybe I replaced one with the other. It doesn't always work though - like today.

I never drank coffee. I have a Dr. Pepper habit. I will sometimes drink tea instead but I have never noticed getting a headache or any symptoms when I do without it. One thing about this quit is learning to drink ice water. Now I find myself with a bottle of water alot. Good habit just that the bottles are not very enviromental friendly.

My last adiction is to diet soda. I've had this since a msall child - my parents put it in my baby bottle, and i've never ever given it up. I want to, but the thought of it scares the CRAP out of me! It's the pain - the headaches I get when I go even a half a day without... you know? scary.

Hi John - I have been considering the same thing for a week or two myself. I know what you mean about how it makes your mouth feel. And, now that I can smell again... Well, you know. ;) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]8/25/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 155 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 4,650 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $906.75 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 14 [B]Hrs:[/B] 0 [B]Mins:[/B] 54 [B]Seconds:[/B] 45

I am thinking about giving up coffee. I used to enjoy it with a morning smoke but now I am starting to dislike the way it makes my mouth feel after I drink it. I know the cream and sugar I put in there can't be doing my body good and I am not sure if I still need that morning caffene any more. I think I am going to switch to tea for a while, I can drink that without cream or sugar. Was just wondering if anyone else has given up coffee after quitting?
