I drank just 3 shots of espresso today and felt really bad all day. I have to face facts. I can’t just cut it down so I’ll have to cut it out. It simply doesn’t agree with me.
Maybe I’ll allow myself to have it as a treat when I go out. But I’m not making it for myself anymore.
Make sure you have painkillers for the headache.
Yeah I expect the next few days to be unpleasant 
I think it’ll pass in 2-3 days. The withdrawals aren’t so bad if you’re used to normal amounts of coffee.
Good luck!

It’s funny you say that I kinda just started drinking “espressos” (4x strength coffee in smaller amounts). I actually think it may have contributed to the mania I just had :S maybe I should quit too 
I think coffee in general though (minus the sugar and cream) is a pretty healthy thing. It’s a “bitter herb” so to speak and so it’s really good for the digestive system and flushing out toxins. Maybe just in more stable amounts it’s better? Like a cup of black coffee that’s drank over 30 minutes rather than a single shot. If you can’t cut it out entirely maybe just try that? You could also try green tea which is even milder. Good luck man!
You could try having a time cutoff where you can’t drink it after. If I drink coffee after 2pm I can’t sleep but if I hav it before I’m fine. And if that doesnt work then u kno u need to quit
I’m finding it really difficult today without coffee. I hope it all starts to get better soon. Just goes to show how much I was addicted I guess.
Screw it. I couldn’t do it. I had to have an espresso shot. 
I’ll try limiting it to one shot a day for a while.
Lol at the emoticon. I feel with caffeine when I consume too much too fast it lifts me up really quickly but then I drop just as hard. An espresso is like the steepest roller coaster you can ride, where as drinking coffee over 30 minutes is like a train going up a slight hill. That’s just me though, but I hope you find what works for you man! Hope your feeling better today
Good idea @everhopeful.
The next few days will be tough but it will be worth it in the long run - stimulants really are best avoided
