I find the grain chickory coffee substitute is a very good way to cut out coffee. It made me feel like I gave up the caffeine but not the great feeling of a nice warm drink in the morning. And there are more then one kind you can choose from so that if you don't like one kind you can try another. I am really glad JohnnyO mentionned this :) -Diva

I"m sure the topic of caffiene comes up a lot here but I have managed to get through the day without coffee by use of an instant coffee substitute made from roasted grains, chicory etc. I am still dosing it with hot chocolate powder though I understand the theobromine is less intense in its effect then caffeine. On some level I like the buzz coffee gives but its "side effects" are not worth it. I also did some much needed bodily stretching today at lunch and could feel the tension and tightness that has been accumulating. I hope to make the yoga/stretching a more consistent practice.
