I was addicted to coffee! Any cleanse, fast or diet had to include coffee. The headaches would be intolerable for 3 or 4 days when I tried to stay away from coffee, but the smell would cause me to float right back in line. In my "Freedom" search from caffeine bondage, I discovered Roasted Chicory Root.
