Coffee Addiction - Are You an Addict?

[Claire]

I think its because your body gets used to it so you dont feel the effects so much. I wasn't aware of how much caffiene effected me until i stopped drinking it. I had a headache for about a week and now when I drink coke I feel it pretty much straight away. Guess everyone's tolerance is different. If I have a coke now I try not to have one after 3pm. That way I hope its out of my system by bedtime. It just makes sense, no stimulants before bed is my rule. Alcohol makes my dreams much worse too.

Are you addicted to coffee?

I scored 63%

The online quiz is still there. I score 81% addicted.

I wonder how other's are doing regarding coffee.

Anyone here regularly receive any specialty coffee, gift cards or coffee makers as presents?

Coffee paraphenilia-(kidding) or such? If addicted do others know? (lol)

Hee- I took the test but Mingle wants you to sign up for their dating site in order to get the results. Er- no, not even a harmless 'join'. These sites tend to find you these days no matter where you flee-I don't feel like doing the whole guilt ( we PTSDers are extremely good at feeling guilty for not doing anything at all ) thing while 'splaining to husband why on earth I'm getting email from a dating site....

Having said that, am probably really, really addicted but do not much care. Can't drink, sucking an electric cigarette , have no choice but to live a virtuous, squeeky clean and annoyingly wholesome life. For a few cups a day, I'm a regular bad *ss, don't mess. Yea, you heard me. :cool:

 

[goingonhope]

Yes, it did appear that you had to sign up for the site.

At first I thought so too, but then I saw small and down in the right hand screen on that sign up page, the link: take me to my quiz results.

So I did get a result without signing up, but really who knows maybe clicking those words for those results can provide info. that can allow mingle to wish to mingle with my email. ;) I wouldn't need this to happen, ...hope not.

I don't need the quiz to know I'm addicted to caffeine in general. But seeing as I haven't had a cigarette in years, haven't had a drink in over a year, I figure a Pepsi/Mt. Dew addiction isn't all that bad. I do have to make sure I stop drinking it after supper however in order to make sleep possible.

54%, apparently, though I wasn't sure how to answer most of the questions. Not being an American, I don't use the same terminology or make my coffee in the same way.

Coffee comes as a powder, is made by the mug-full, needs milk and sugar and I drink it at work because the water makes tea taste weird.

LOL I am 83% addicted, but I knew that already.

Maybe caffeine, but coffee is not my favorite way of getting it unless its at least decent and it has to be dark, I don't like coffee I can see through. Basically I like dark black coffee(no sugar, milk or anything) or good lattes or whatever the creamy ones with espresso are called. Other then that I am more inclined to get my caffine from black tea, energy drinks and mountain dew and I've taken caffeine pills.​

​

I don't get terrible withdraws if I go without but I do get a headache and might feel kinda lethargic, then again I tend to feel lethargic due to the depression and numbness I experience in general. So its hard to tell if its the lack of caffeine or that.​

Caffeine doesn't do anything for me, in coffee, strong drinks, mountain dew, or energy drinks. That being said, I still like the taste of all of those. My body just doesn't respond and if it is meant to sleep it will, whether I want it to or not.

I scored a 60%

So here's a question, why do you guys all drink so much coffee?

I like the taste. Almost the stronger the better. Drink black, nothing added. On the days it doesn't taste good to me, I know my physical illness(dysautonomia) is going to be bad. On those days, everything does..that is if I am awake to eat or drink.

I quit drinking coffee for awhile. But I am back to drinking it again. I drink it with creamer. Two cups a day. I figure it does not do anything for me, I just love the taste of it and it is good to drink while waking up.

I'm not a coffee addict anymore, but I've switched my fix to caffeine drinks, coke, red bull, etc. It is more a problem when I'm not sleeping, I need the caffeine in order to function, but then it is harder to get to sleep, and so on and so forth.
