Give and get support around quitting
has anyone found that their coffee isn't as "satisfying" since quitting? I know they go together like peanut butter and jelly, but I thought I had read that quitting might make "us" more sensitive to caffeine.
Just wondering if any other coffee-holics are falling out of love with coffee since quitting.

My coffee taste a lot better. I enjoy it soooooooooooo much. I am able to switch it up. My family and friends know how much I love it. It is often a pleasant surprise gift for me. This morning I had Dunkin Donut Reg Roast. Yesterday it was Panera Bread. They knock Starbucks to the side. Your smoking was probably masking the true flavors. Most of the time I used purified water, makes a big difference. Just keep at it. You will work it out.
When I stopped smoking I treated myself to a "Keurig", that way I could switch it up with different cups to make it more interesting...
Only one small side effect.....it's like liquid CRACK! I am bouncing off the walls, but I get a lot of housework done, and have become VERY social at work!!!!
That's the best thing I've read all day! Lol! I'm sure my family would be thrilled if I had energy and did housework! Haha! I also treated myself to a keurig- its crazy addictive but mostly for my teenagers- they LOVE it!!!! I'm pretty sure I will negate any smoking savings by Starbucks Kcups!
Which is exactly why I couldn't commit to going half de-caf for all of my coffee. I love my Starbucks Kcups! And I've yet to find any brand of Kcups that are half de-caf.
Ha! I knew it!!! I was feeling a little déjà vu!!
lol-:-)
Ha! I was just searching for this discussion. Forgot it was started by you. No wonder this seemed like déjà vu to me too!
Can't say that I have noticed that it doesn't taste as good since I never really liked coffee. I like those ridiculous iced coffee, frappes with vanila and a shot of expresso. Not that I have those at home but I drink coffee for one reason, to wake up. Sad, but true. Whenever I hear people saying how good coffee is...I will take a sip and it tastes just like it did LAST time. Now, if it tasted like the grounds SMELL, I would love it but I have never had any that tasted like that.

The frappe are not ridiculous! They are heavenly!!!;)
my husband says the same- loves the smell, hates the taste. Likes to steal kisses while I'm drinking it. (Wink wink)
Hahaha...the grounds smell heavenly...the frappes are just loaded with empty calories and I didn't start adding the shot of expresso until a couple of months ago when my daughter pointed out that they have no coffee in them. I was like..."WHAT?" No wonder I am tired all the time.
YES! In my early days of quitting coffee tasted like poo poo!!! I was so sad since I really love my coffee. I drink it black and once my taste buds came back and my sense of smell, I discovered new flavors within the coffee! Then I discovered I am a coffee snob and only like certain brands of coffee and it has to be strong and brewed properly!
Then I got used to it and everything went back to "normal". LOL! All is good...
The caffeine never really impacted me that much. I can still drink coffee in the evenings and go to sleep.
