  1. There was a gal at work who only drank coffee if she didn't get any sleep the night before. She kept a Mr. Coffee in her closet and she'd break it out maybe once a month. All it took was one cup and she was wired for the whole day, a day she couldn't get through, otherwise. Like weed or coke or many other drugs, once you're using them, daily, it's to feel normal, and you're no longer getting the full benefit. I've been laid up in the hospital due to injury and been on demerol or whatever, just sleeping and hurting. Off coffee. Off nicotine. After a week without coffee, you're pretty much cleansed, and that first cup will make you high as shit. You don't have to be off it for 3 months for the full kick. Just a week. During that week, you've got to be able to just lay down and sleep whenever you feel like it. Powering through the withdrawal and trying to be normal is extremely hard, and you'll probably get headaches. But if you can let down and sleep when you feel like it, it's not bad, at all.
