Default Addicted to Caffeine?

in spite of being at goal.............
in spite of what the book says.............
in spite of it all...............
a couple of us are feeling the addiction.

no coffee
no tea
no soft drinks

if you are addicted and want to quit this habit, just join in and lets see how we do for the next 30 days.

i think the discussion was DECAF would be allowed, but if you feel the need to chunk it all, then do that.

we will begin this on sunday june 4 and go, at least, through the end of june.


i'm in!

WOW, that is awesome for you all!

I really don't drink much caffeine, I try to reserve it for days that I *need* something to get me over the afternoon hump.

I will be cheering for you from the sidelines!!

thanks freckles! it's always nice to have a couple more hands cheering the weary ones one!!!

good to have you among us , august! (i am thinking postitive) you have until next sunday to either drink up till your sick or start weaning yourself off of the stuff.


i think we decided decaf was going to be okay. somebody correct me it that is not right. my morning 2 cups is more for the warmth of something. i will probably get some decaf teas. this is what i had done several weeks ago but all the teas are gone.


this morning i didn't have anything but some sugar free tang.
lauren? how bout you? and luck this morning?

I'm shying away from challenges right now, but I'll help cheer you all on! Wo hooo!

So far I'm two weeks gone without anything that has caffiene in it: chocolate, coffee, tea, and diet pops...all those hidden things that have caffiene in them, ugh!

Best wishes!
