    I haven't had regular coffee in over 10 years. I remember when I quit, I had withdrawal symptoms the first few days and around the 3rd day I got a nose bleed. After 5-7 days I felt better than ever before. I no longer got random headaches throughout the day, no longer woke up feeling dizzy, and my energy was evenly balanced throughout the day.. no significant highs or lows. My skin also started looking better and teeth got whiter. My joints felt more lubricated. Now I wake up already feeling energetic and don't need a jolt from coffee. Not being a slave to coffee is probably the best thing I've done for myself aside from never smoking. Occasionally, on a cold or rainy morning, I'll make some decaf coffee. I don't consume anything with caffeine including dark chocolate and certain teas.

    *Every single negative side effect* you listed I experienced exactly. I had developed a tolerance and was getting lethargic, jittery, experiencing hypertension, dizziness, inconsistent body temperature levels, lack of focus and drive, depression, just overall feeling very sick and gross and nearly passing out on several occasions. It felt like my body chemistry was very imbalanced and these symptoms would very often manifest at random times of day, and all I could do was put my head down and bear through it and wait for it to subside. It was so bad I was worried I had developed a serious irreversible medical condition.
    Over time I scaled my coffee consumption back gradually and now I drink about an hour after I wake but not before I drink at least a full glass of water, staying hydrated through the day. At least 7-8 hours of sleep are vital. Any deviation from those habits and my symptoms rear their head again as if to say, _"Say hello to your little friend!"_

I'd get sick if I drank it first thing. I used to for a year when I was much younger and I slowed down off of it. I was going through 4 to 8 cups a day! I got sick many times before I finally quit.

    Good advice. You confirm much of what I’ve been hearing about coffee, and added some new things, like the function of the adrenal glands, and the fact that coffee is a diuretic and the first thing you drink should be water.
    If you had one cup of coffee per day, the most optimal time to have it is probably around 2:00 in the afternoon-you’ve had lunch, and you kind of slow down because now your natural hormones are at a low level. Your system could actually use a boost at that time.

      Water would be the best. When you wake up, you've lost a liter of water and are dehydrated. Water is the best, healthiest re-hydrator. What I kept waiting for him to say how long we should wait before we have the first cup of coffee.
      I drink water while I wait for my coffee because I am so thirsty when I wake up. For me, that's about an hour. I usually start the coffee about 20ish minutes after I wake up and I use a stovetop percolator which takes longer than a regular drip machine (but, it is sooo worth it!!).

    Dehydration is one thing, Cortisol effect is another. so...
    while the amount of water in the average cup of coffee probably,
    cancels out the effect of the dehydration caused by the caffeine
    the Cortisol effect can be a roller coaster of responses to events.
    If it hits right I am happy :) if it hits me wrong I can become a warrior.

      The majes you groggy in the morning.
      Understand this why do you sleep
      To get energy and get fresh I you wake up groggy I means you are doing something absolutely wrong.
      Example.
      My 8 years old son wakes up in the morning exploding with energy.does he needs coffee NO.how come he hwas amazing energy and I a groggy.
      Quit coffee completely washed it out of my system for about 3 weeks and now I am absolutely fine.never felt better.
      Caffeine destroyed your body completely.
      Also some people are caffeine sensitive more sensitive than others you maybe one of them.
      But for sure you do not have to wake up feeling groggy .

      Caffeine messes up your cortisol levels and thavstress hormone can damage your organs because you are basically living una constant flight or fight mode.
      This is a thing that I do not miss at all from coffee.

The damage had been done. They both suffered COPD and had to go on oxygen tanks and had so much trouble breathing. In the end they were so bad they both had so much anxiety and depression from being so sick. They could no longer breathe very well and both died. So please please please realize smoking will end your life in a very bad way and sooner than you think. Don’t have regrets and quit before it’s too late. They both died too young.

    Want to lose weight then don't have high cortisol levels at all.
    In fact when I've dropped coffee all together after 4 to 5 days my energy levels are incredibly great and my mood is very even. I'm such a nicer person to be around, and I just watch the weight drop away.
    This is definitely a psychotropic drug.

    Coffee is a drug and in my 70th year I quit it!…I drank organic freshly ground dark roast for many years believing all the health hype benefits of it!…But now experience a far healthier smoother running fit body without it in Many ways!
