I have drank coffee since I was a young girl. I drank instant coffee at School of the Ozarks. I would get the water from the hot tap. The water there was heated with a boiler and was really hot. The coffee was very soothing to a young girl away from home and family with very little of anything, especially money. So as my life continued, I have always associated coffee with good things. Momma let us put cream in our coffee. I know by age of 9 or 10 I drank coffee each morning. She perked it and then turned the fire off and left it there. By the time we drank it for breakfast it was not piping hot. I think this is way I always want to add an ice cube to my hot coffee so it will be more like when I was a young girl at home. I quit putting cream in my coffee when I was in my 30s because of the extra calories. I just drank it black. Most mornings I have drank a small pot for the 40 years Larry and I have been married. Sometimes we even drank another pot in the afternoon. Well, another pleasure passes from my lips. Coffee is making me dreadfully sick. Throwing up sick. I am going to try to live without coffee in the morning. It is going to be hard, but Larry says he quit cigarettes surely I can quit coffee.
But........I keep hoping the feeling will pass and I can have a good cup of coffee again. It is not the caffeine but the acid in the coffee that I can not tolerate.

I always got a cup of coffee first thing in the morning. now I am getting up and getting a full glass of water and drinking thast right off the bat. I am trying to help my self feel better. I have had a problem with my skin for the last few years. If i bump it some times the skin would just peel back like an orange. I mean big places of torn woumds. Since I started drinking water instead of sodas or so much coffee my skin has improved and I no longer have that problem.
perhaps you could tolarate one cup if you drink a full glass of water before the coffee.I only drink one cup a day now and when I find my self thinking about a cup of coffee I drink a glass of water and that does the trick.
i am glad greta is better.
Wow, it would be hard to get up in the morning knowing I couldn't have my coffee. I use Walmart creamer; used to use real cream, but now I don't like it with real cream.
I did quit drinking coffee for a couple of months once, when I was on a health kick, but then I decided it wasn't worth doing without it. Coffee makes my mornings! I can't stand instant coffee; I'd probably just switch to hot tea, if all I could have was instant coffee.
I'm glad that beautiful baby is home where she belongs.
