    I've been off Alcohol, coffee and soft drinks since the 1st of September. Feel good and no longer need a coffee to wake up :) Still drink sparking flavored water and flavored green teas which really like now :-)

    I tend to stop and start with it, when it gets to the point where I need coffee just to function then I quit for a few weeks.

    Having my first cup in a month, hoping I feel a slight buzz from it as I was at the stage where I felt nothing when I was drinking it all the time

    @SimonV that's always how I viewed Jim anyway :)

    I had my first coffee in about 5 months yesterday, it was lovely actually (I have had may 20 coffees in the last 40 years).

    No way, I just assumed you'd be a coffee junkie. Perhaps all the travel and long hours. Surprised me there mate

    Yeah, I got in to Bullet Proof Coffee earlier this year, had maybe a dozen cups and then left it.

    See I am not a great drinker, I don't find the need to drink (perhaps it's because I drive every day but in the past 10 months I can count on two hands how many drinks I have had).

    Seriously think I might drop dead at any moment. I’m at least two cups of coffee a day (the high strength stuff) – only get about five\six hours sleep during the week and spend 99.9% of the weekend propping up a bar.

    Oh well – could be worse! :)

    Ha ha that's a good amount of sleep depending on what websites you read. Two cups isn't bad at all is it. For me it's a boredom thing so I'd drink several cups just for something to do half the time. If you don't drunk through the week that's better than What I just did having a month off apparently as I'm more likely to think I can batter it now and that I'm ok cos I take a month a year off. Seems like these things change ever day, what's good bad right amounts etc
