Great post!
I also noticed that, from the moment I started to drink one glass of warm water, with lemon cinnamon and honey every morning, as soon as I'm awake, I no longer feel the need of my coffees.. 
May be it's just a coincidence.. due to the fact that my health status improved with this simple habit.. anyway I noticed that, now, just one coffee every now and then, at mid morning, has become just a little pleasure, to savor its unique taste.. its wonderful smell.. and it is not an addiction. 
@Hiris
Haha Lemon water is good!
@Hiris
My brother raises bees and swears by honey and lemon in hot water. He just shipped me fresh 'squeezed' honey from his bee hives. It's so tasty. Om nom nom nom.
@MorningStar610
noms!
@MorningStar610
But it's awesome, MorningStar.. I absolutely have to introduce my sister to your brother!
She constantly drinks ginger tea with honey, instead of coffee! and I'm sure.. they will fall in love 
I've found that I have a lot of energy if I drink a lot of water throughout the day.
@Probius
funny how that works out
I don't drink that stuff... .I find water is just as good
@PoliteOcean
today instead of soda I bought sparkling water
@HalliwellSister
I love sparking water. I might be weird but it's delicious and it gives me that bubbly I crave.
@MorningStar610
yes it wasn't as bubbly as I would have liked though. Haha
@HalliwellSister
Try shaking it up before you open it next time? I'm kidding I'm kidding... haha 
Oh I actually had done that LOL it spilled on me....
@MorningStar610
@HalliwellSister
LOL oops. At least it won't stain!
@MorningStar610
yesh lol that's the truth yo ! Woohoo no stains
@HalliwellSister I find a moderate to high protein diet with smaller servings every 3-4 hours keeps me from having energy crashes. That means cutting back on carbohydrates quite a bit and eating more non starchy veggies. All for keeping stable.
@HalliwellSister
Caffeine is the one thing I cannot give up. I gave up meat cold turkey, but I just cannot seem to give up caffeine. Especially my sugar free red bulls. I know it is unhealthy, but it is quick and easy! This is definitely something I need to work on!
@SMLHappy
It is something you could work on with your buddy!
@HalliwellSister great post!
Coffee makes me happy :) I especially love raw honey (just a teaspoon!) in my coffee!
I wanted to say I HAVE tried warm lemon honey water in the morning, and similar (apple cider vinegar for instance in water with honey tastes like apple cider!), and I really enjoy that too!
One day I think it would be nice to switch to something different in the morning... but for right now, I'm OK with the coffee and the caffeine :) And the psychological sense of reward.
I like chicory instead of coffee especially for the placebo effect because it kinda resmbles coffee and is super healthy for you!!!
@Wanttosmile oooh, I have Cafe du Monde coffee (famous from New Orleans) it's got chicory inside! Have you tried it? I love the light roasts myself, the chicory is a little dark for me 😉
@singercrystalspirit
Yes very close to me. Its super yummy!!!!
I just realized I ought to stop posting to this thread because I am like the big tempter kid saying "come back to coffee, it's sooooo yummy" hahaha!
@singercrystalspirit
It is what it is
