I think it is part of our human make up to crave certain things. And I also think that we should be able to enjoy everything in moderation that is. It is when we go over board about it that we see the addiction set in. I think that 3 pots of coffee is abit much. I probably allow myself two cups a day.

well, we all know too much coffee is not good for the health. but if you seriously want to quit coffee, then self discipline is all you need. i dont know much about it, but you can go and search online on what remedies you can do. such as for sweet-tooth, drinking a glass of water with last with soothe their craving for chocolates... hope you be successful on this. :)

I already know how to stop, that's a really good thing because I can't before, I used to finish more than 10 pots of coffee a day, and I know that is really a lot...I don't sleep for 2 days straight and end up getting sick, I still have insomnia...but yes, water does help, I'm drinking water right now...I would just have to control myself next time!!

I drink a lot too, and tea, but three pots is an awful lot. I used to drink it a lot when young; I even used to supplement my intake with caffeine tablets, because I liked the rush: I used to line them up like expressos and down one after the other. These days, I don't get any kind of rush at all. I just drink it to keep going during long weary days. Oh well; enjoy your coffee; but be careful: too much is not good for anyone.

That sounds like me with my iced tea. I know that I drink too much through the day, but I really do not like many other drinks and so it seems that I am always getting another glass. I need to cut down as I have been getting jumpy too. Maybe we need to find a new drink.

That's a lot! Even though I love coffee, I could not handle that much in a single day! I really prefer any coffee products other than the normal hot ones. However, hot ones are also good. Too much of something is bad you know. But I guess you already know how to cure your addiction. Since it is 'addiction', the only thing to do is to not get addicted to it.
