I'm quitting caffeine

[Patrick Jane]

Quitting is for quitters.

 

[cooks1]

Would weed help

Honestly- I have no idea. Probably wouldn't hurt.

 

[IIIIIIII]

Try a week

haha, maybe one of these weeks. not anytime soon lol.

 

[William Huggins]

Good chance to down regulate your receptors and then after a couple of weeks get back on the good ship coffee pot............

 

[puppybird]

as a regular coffee drinker, i've never experienced this. i can go days without a cup of coffee.

That only lasts a couple of days

 

[BIKES!]

Move this thread to war room, commie!

I probably go through the equivalent of 4-5 of those in a day. Start at 6 am, down a big one in almost no time, then I am pretty much nursing a coffee straight through to about 4pm. That's when I stop.

At my consumption level, I have to make my own. Starbucks would ruin me financially.

That's cool. See I didn't think I drank a ton but I've had people tell me two large starbucks is a lot. I usually buy one then drink the equivalent of another one in coffee I make at home. I have a cousin that lost a kidney due to what his doctor's said was his daily habit of 3 energy drinks. My boss does that too, he'll drink two or 3 monsters a day.

For those saying they drink decaf tea and coffee - they still contain caffeine.

 

[Uber_Noober]

Haven't had a drink in three years, and no weed in about 2/3 months

 

[Herwald]

I tried it. First 2 weeks were horrible. Head aches and all that drivel. But once you're passed a certain point, you begin to feel real good.


Which lasted for a few days, then I got a gig I had to complete on a deadline. Been drinking coffee ever since.

Keep us posted on your journey,

I'm gonna quit banging anyone less than a 10.


Right after I adjust my rating scale.


You like this 10, don't you, boys?

Yeah, she a 10, about 10psi in that spare tire.

To the OP though. I quit caffeine for a few days. Didnt get a headache but the brain fog was fierce, along with my attitude.
After I think day 4 or 5 I had a single cup of a pour over I made at home and my god was I euphoric. I felt amazing and full of joy.
The next morning that didnt happen, but thats ok.

I stopped drinking sodas and coffee 1 March. First week was miserable. Now I'm pretty much on easy street.

Yeah, That'll happen. I drink my coffee black. Absolutely nothing added. Which I think is a bit of a rarity these days. I drink no soft drinks and little alcohol. Just coffee and water. So hopefully my kidneys will be OK.

That's great. Do you actually feel measurably better? About 2 years ago, I quit coffee for 6 months. But I went back on after realizing that I felt no better and was more disoriented.

Oh, and a quit an MDMA addiction 14 years ago. Nothing but beer and bud since.

 

[kimocomplex]

as someone who had a Monster Energy Drink every day for over 10 years let me tell you, it wasnt easy

im so glad I did it tough, im trying to do the same with diet soda. Still drink a few throughout the week though
50% water
30% Muscle Milk protein shakes
15% diet soda
5% other like orange juice, tea, hot chocolate

 

[TribalDrumz]

I do this every once in a while . It's called a STIMULANT BREAK. It's really rough the first few days , but you end up feeling better overall. Quality of sleep improved dramatically. Stay away from Pre Workouts with like 400mg per scoop.

What like every day addicted?

 

[Rand M Arthur]

What like every day addicted?

By the end of it I did 6 nights a week, with a few hours sleep between, then a 36 hour marathon sleep to recover from the weekend. My life was a trainwreck from 14-21, but really escalated from about 16 onwards when I was actively dealing drugs.

I was a wrong 'un
