Withdrawal sucks, but it should only be bad for a day or so.  I usually get a small headache on the second day, but it's intermittent.  What's worse is the sugar cravings, which can last two or three days.

I'd been clean for a month or so, but then I had americanos two days in a row last weekend.  I was fine on Monday without coffee, but then withdrawal mopped the floor with me on Tuesday-Wednesday.  I'm definitely staying away from coffee/espresso from here on out. It dictates my daily cycles too much when I'm using. I handle tea a lot better.

I sound like I'm making myself out to be a heroin addict, heh.

Why go to Starbucks? That's like going to McD for a salad.

Only place I know I can get tea on the go. I could make tea at home but I dont feel like waiting and drinking it there. Maybe if I got a THERMOS but then i'd be working man total.

Since finding out the calorie counts for most sit down places, McDonalds is starting to look healthy, thats so sad.

yeah my boss took my team out for lunch last week at a big sit down sports bar like place and the entire menu was SCARY because I knew that like 5/6ths of it was over 1200 calories for the meal, twice what I would ever generally eat even in a large meal. I commented to my wife later that at a place like mcdonald's you can at least find a way to get some healthy alternative choices, and, here's the kicker-REASONABLE SIZED PORTIONS. The plates at most sit-down places are as big as hubcaps.

I have access to near boiling hot water in my office and make my own teabags from stuff I buy at the food snobbery store. Works great for tea in the office.

I told you you should have started out with half-caff. Doing this made it a painless transition for me. Tea just isn't the same if you're a coffee junkie, and, as I recall doesn't tea actually have more caffeine?

I'll be damned. An urban myth, I guess.

And the half-caff stuff I'm referring to is drip, not instant, for what it's worth.
