Based on the writings of Ellen G. White, you are strongly encouraged to stop drinking coffee. Here are the main reasons given: 1. Coffee is described as a "hurtful indulgence" that temporarily excites the mind but leads to exhaustion, prostration, and a weakening of mental, moral, and physical powers. Continued use can permanently lessen brain activity (CTBH 34.4). 2. Coffee is classified with other nerve irritants (like tea, tobacco, and alcohol) that wear away life-forces, cause restlessness, impatience, and mental feebleness, and are antagonistic to spiritual progress (CTBH 34.5). 3. The only safe course regarding coffee (and similar stimulants) is to "touch not, taste not, handle not." The habit can be as difficult to break as alcohol addiction, but with persistence, the craving will cease and health will improve (MH 335.3). 4. Coffee is said to "benumb the brain" and is "highly injurious." It is associated with trembling nerves, lack of self-control, and a sallow, lifeless appearance (4T 364.4; HL 108.1). 5. The stimulating effect of coffee is described as "false strength," which is only nervous excitement. When the effect wears off, it leaves the user with languor and debility (CTBH 31.2; MH 326.2). 6. Coffee is considered a "poison" to the system, and its use is linked to weakened nerves, impaired intellect, and a diminished ability to appreciate spiritual things (2T 64.1; 4aSG 128.2). 7. The habit of drinking coffee is said to contribute to headaches, nervous prostration, and other health issues, with its dangers often being underestimated or attributed to other causes (CTBH 35.2). In summary, Ellen G. White's writings consistently advise against the use of coffee, citing its harmful effects on physical, mental, and spiritual health. The recommendation is to stop drinking coffee for the sake of your overall well-being. References: - White, E. G. (1890). Christian Temperance and Bible Hygiene (CTBH), pp. 31-35. - White, E. G.
