I start the day off ok. Then I have about 5 very strong coffees during the day. After each one I become more bitter and hopeless. And I canāt stop. I have my last one around 9pm so itās affecting my sleep too.
These coffees are super strong pod coffees.
Iām going to have to tackle this in the new year.
I used to drink a lot of coffee. Like a whole pot at a time. It never really caused me any problems except maybe stomach-wise. I donāt drink as much now. I feel you in your struggle. Good luck in cutting back.
I drink 4 double espressos every day.
3 in the morning and one in the afternoon.
Maybe we should both give it up in the new yearā¦
I like coffee and cigarettes. I am not ready to give up. Is it a problem for you?
Yes. Coffee is a major problem for me 
Since you have an alcohol abuse history do you think your mind is using coffee as a replacement for that? Or Is it for something else?
Maybe because youāre taking benzos and itās making you groggy and relaxed??
I know when I lived in a sober home in 2014 I got into a lot of trouble with taking too much coffee because I had chronic anxiety issues and was looking for a buzz from coffee.
Canāt you stop it?
Thatās very possible. But either way, Iām addicted to something thatās feeling me worse.
Iāll tackle it in the new year for sure.
New years resolution ! 
Iāve been drinking more coffee lately.
Iām looking for something to perk me up during the dark winter months.
iāve been doing the same since i sobered up.
Am using coffee and cigarettes as a major crutch.
iām gonna try to cut down,
think iāll switch to black coffee so it tastes bad and i wont drink as much.
Good luck cutting downnn
Thanks @Catch22
Keep doing whatever you need to stay clean and sober. You can quit the crutches when youāre in the clear from other stuff. Best of luck 
Energy drinks are my problem. I dont really like coffee. Iām always broke. I canāt blame anyone but myself. I had this problem before I got sick.
Yes, I let myself drink coffee and then wonder why Iām agitated.
Yes, i think i responded to you before, i too cant quitā¦I am back to about 1-3 cups a day, but i just want off it! Addictions are stupid. My internet addiction and sugar addiction are the next things after coffee. I already beat my āself-destructive dating addictionā, it seems.
Lets team up and quit coffee in the new year! If you share how it is going ill cheer for you (or reprimand you if you need that :p).
Iām going to order decaf coffee pods and just let the super strong ones run out.
We can doooooo it !
Jeej, sound plan! I drink coffee at work, no decaf there, but ill bring my own herbal tea in a thermos bottle.
Now: 2 weeks holiday for me, good time to start.
i just went down from about 4 or 5 coffees to one coffee now. you gotta go slow
Iām enjoying my third cup of coffee right now.
