Count me in on coffee. I use the Kuerig one cup brew as well. I tried to quit and I felt depressed & tired, then I was like screw it "I'm going to have a cup". By the time I had half a cup I felt great. It's got a hold on me.
My big accomplishment has been getting off hard liquor. Still drink beer, but it's a start. I had a rum and coke at the bash last year, that was my only hard drink in about 2 and half years.

FUNK, I've just racked up my tenth week with no more than one Coca Cola (usually a 20 oz bottle for lunch) a day after a 30 year habit of knocking back six to ten cans a day of either Coke or Dr Pepper.
Been substituting 0sugar 0carb energy drinks (XS) instead and am frankly surprised I've made the transition with little complaint.

i know exactly how you feel. i have been hooked on the same shit for 2 years now. it is absolutely brutal. you need it every 6 - 8 hours, and just makes you more stuffed up after it wears off and need another dose. it's the worst waking up at night with the back of your throat so dry from breathing in through your mouth b/c your nose is so clogged.
i did kick it once in the past 2 years. it was 3 days from hell. there were so many times i just wanted to blast it up there, and breathe easy again, but i made it. 1 month later i was back on the shit, and have been ever since.
i do have a theory on how to kick it without going through total hell. you have to get off it 1 nostril at a time. just keep blasting it up the left side, and let the right side clean itself out. after 3 days or so without going to the right, then just stop all together. at least you will be able to breathe through 1 side so it's not too bad.
but i feel exactly what you are going through. it is pure hell. it sucks having 1 stashed at home, in my night stand, in my car console, and at work. i have actually rationalized to myself that this company should not be able to get away with distributing this shit, so everytime i go to the store i steal one. i am not paying some company that sells their product by getting their customers addicted. so every time i need a new bottle (which is every week, and it is $7 a bottle), i non chalantly stick it up my sleeve, buy some other things and walk out. kind of weird, but it's principle lol
