I’ve been a coffee drinker for over 20 years, and have tried many times to let it go. But this time I’ve finally done it, and I wanted to share how with you!
It takes just 7 days!
Day 1
Let your “good” coffee run out and use the backup coffee your son Wes bought. Drink a little, gag a little, set aside after just half a cup.
Day 2
Plunge into a really deep depression. One that keeps you in bed most of the day and away from the grocery store. (There is no way I was going to get to the grocery store — you needn’t either.) Contemplate the bad coffee and take an Advil instead.
Day 3
Feel better! And notice that you have only had 1/2 cup of coffee the last two days! Celebrate by going out for breakfast (who are we kidding — lunch) and order iced tea instead of coffee… a little caffeine “bump” to keep the headache away!
Day 4
Dust off your Ben Franklin Tea-Bag Ceramic Jar that your very young granddaughter picked out for you as a special present and retrieve a 2-year-old England Breakfast tea bag. Boil water; have two cups.
Dav 5
Repeat Day 4.
Day 6
Repeat Day 5.
Day 7
Write a blog post sharing your success with the world!!

Congratulations, Carla!!!!
With a little help from your family … and a lot of own effort. Congratulations on your success!
Or, just don’t give up coffee. I like to have my first with bible study and chat with the LORD in the morning.
So funny. Thanks for the laugh. As good as an animal drawing.
Almost.
Girl! Go get you some good tea! Well done you!
Awesome! But I’m wondering why you gave up coffee. I’m well into my 7th life decade and just discovered the joy of coffee about 10 years ago.
But seriously, black tea has almost as much caffeine as coffee. Why did you want to give up coffee?
I am very happy for you but I like my coffee and don’t want to give it up. I have never been fond of tea despite being the daughter of an Irish immigrant mother who was a lifelong tea drinker.
Well done! Do you have a solution for wine? Maybe the same method will work. I’ll try it.
Buy the best coffee you can find and give Wes the receipt….you know you will need it sooner or later. He owes you for the ‘dishwater’.
Wow! So easy! (Thank you for the laugh! And what a great present from your granddaughter!)
Wow! This is serious! Isn’t there any other vice to give up? This is so drastic?
Bravo!
