Coffee Addiction Anonomous

[xenophobe]

Hi my name is xenophobe, and I'm a coffee addict. I've been an addict for roughly 14 years. I've been clean and sober for a few months here and there, but the oily black bean keeps luring me back into it's spell!

Right now, I'm making the strongest stuff I've ever made, and it does little to me, but, I really need it to feel normal.

I have two cups every morning, it helps waking up and I like the taste
Sometimes I have another cup around noon if I feel like it.

I am a recovered caffeine-addict. I used to need my coffee every day, otherwise I'd be tired, have a headache, be grouchy, and my wife would find me intolerable. However, I quit cold turkey over three years ago, and I haven't had any since. The first month was the hardest, but now I don't miss it...much.

Ya gotta hate when there's too much blood in your caffeine stream..

Hehe good one Lady... good one

There was a period I drank coffee thru the hole day, but I don't like being addicted to something (other than this pc)
For me it was like nafnikufesin said, only without the wife. But there were other people who found me intolerable, now that i think about it, they still do, but i don't drink to much coffee anymore, I replaced it with beer and whisky. Much better

Since I'm diagnosed with hyperactivity, I don't really need coffee to keep me going. But I do enjoy the occasional cup with about...9 packets of sugar...yes I'm more or less addicted to caffine.

Nearly every drink I have is coffee or beer. Coffee if I'm at home, beer if I'm out. I've never tried mixing the two though.

Milk (but just a drop) and two sugars, thank you.

Coffee doesn't affect the hyperactive the way it affects other folks..I was hyperactive as a kid & took Ritalin, & on days I didn't feel like taking my pill, I had to drink a cup of coffee. I think it's a brain chemistry thing. To this day, caffeine doesn't hit me as hard as it hits most folks, unless I ingest huge doses (like taking half a dozen NoDoz all at once).

Cheers to that!

I don't need more than one addiction at a time, so I'll stick to booze, thank you!

Two mugs in the morning, at least one during the day and one or two in the evening, strong and black as the deepest pits of hell

By the way, has anyone ever noticed how much better coffee tastes when you drink it outside? It's peculiar. I think it tastes the best when the outside temperature drops below 10 C in the mornings.. I like to put on warm clothes and sit out on the porch reading the paper, enjoying the autumn morning and sipping the brew.

 

[xenophobe]

Yeah, coffee is great outdoors, indoors, while you're reading the morning paper on the can.... When you're driving it's good too. Before or after sex.... hell, even during!

Coffee is just the world's best substance.

I drink coffee at work pretty much all the time. Two or three mugs (say, 2.5 dl each) every morning, the same amount around lunch time, and sometimes one more mug around 3 o'clock before going home. At home I don't drink it that much (because the folks just don't know how to make good coffee! ). No sugar, no milk.

Well, maybe one teaspoon of sugar in the evenings.

Coffee - good!


edit:

By the way, coffee + smoke = kickstart of the day.

nd: coffee... of course

 

[Hiljainen]

I'm not really addict..but i drink a lot of coffee at school since i pass there the most of my day

 

[Dionysos]

I drink coffee only mixed with chocolate milk!!!!
I've never tried plain coffee.......!!!
And also the first time I tried this choco-milk-coffe thing was 2 years ago (when I was 20 years old!!!)
Weird eh?

 

[Jax]

Here's another question, for the coffee-holics..

Do you like the fancy schmancy coffee drinks from places like Starbucks, or do you prefer a straight up cup of coffee without all the excess BS?

 

[xenophobe]

Well, I love my 4 shot espresso latte and mochas...

"regular" coffee doesn't do much....

Here's MY coffee:

20oz cup. I use one of those plastic filters holders that your put on top of your cup that uses size 2 filters... I put TWO SCOOPS, for one 20 oz (two scoops is usually good for 6 normal cups I think?)... It's so strong and bitter (yum)... put in a couple ice cubes so I won't burn myself slamming it! heh. And fill the last 1/4" inch with evaporated milk... three teaspoons of raw sugar...

And it doesn't taste sweet... it's STILL bitter! BUT I love the taste

But it wakes me up.

[edit] During the halloween/thanksgiving/christmas time, Starbucks makes a Egg Nog Latte that is delicious... get a Venti with 4 or 5 shots of espresso! YUM!

 

[Leech]

the caffeine kick in coffee seems to be the only thing that keeps me awake during the day

 

[Rusty]

I think all this fancy "latte" business is a right malarky. Give me plain old coffee any day, as long as it's strong with two sugars. Starbucks is a rip-off.
