I have a few rules when I’m sick including no coffee, minimal caffeine, no sugar and no dairy. I had a bad chest cold for 3 weeks, and followed that rule pretty well. Now that I’m feeling better, I’m trying to see how long I can go without coffee. I still crave it but eventually that will go away too. So far I have survived! The challenge will be tomorrow since our user group meeting is right across the road from a Starbucks! And of course, my fave is latte’s (I blame Michele for turning me on to their Vanilla Lattes 😉 which is coffee AND sugar AND dairy all together. I’d call that an addiction.
I can’t say I have had no caffeine though since I am now drinking English Breakfast tea and plenty of Green Tea too.

You could always order tea at Starbucks … of course going to starbucks and getting a tea could be like going to a bar and just getting a tonic.
Good luck! We are all with you! I don’t know if there is "patch" for coffee addict like there is for smoker who want to stop.
