No Caffiene

[Courtney]

So I haven't had any coffee for 4 days and I feel great!
My anxiety has gone down a great deal and I can actually sleep at night!
To anyone having anxiety issues I would reccomend you cut this stuff out!
I may still drink it here and there when I'm super tired but this is obviously what my biggest problem was!

[veN]

Me too, me too, me too.

I am off the coffee (except for the occasional cup of joe like less than once a month), and I feel so much more settle, experience less crashes and am less moody.

[rawb]

cutting out coffee has really improved my quality of life. for real.

ive drank 1 cup of coffee only every day for the past week and im pretty sure im going to give it up all together in the mornings and go back to the protein smoothies allllllright.

[Phrenetic]

I switched to tea a month ago, im a lot less weird now

LOL, sorry, but I just thought it was obvious. I rarely have coffee and there are so many reasons why you should try other alternatives such as Tea, proper sleep, and exercise. What surprises or scares me so much is how you noticed such a big difference after only 4 days. How much coffee where you drinking???

Wow. Good for all of you. How the hell did you even begin?

I have no idea where to begin with cutting out caffeine. I have tried many times before, my last attempt was when I was doing Dr. Joshi's detox diet (all organic and no caffeine), and it only lasted a week. The WHOLE WEEK, I was cranky, bitchy, headachy and wanted coffee badly.

I'm pretty good with my health, I eat well and exercise and strength train daily, but the one addiction I have NOT been able to break is my need for coffee. I would love to be able to cut out my dependence on caffeine, but I have no idea how to go through it, considering my last attempt was a painful and unsuccessful one. I got baaddd headaches.

I know I should stop because it's come to the point where my nerves are twitching for no reason even on days that I've had 8 full hours of sleep.

Where/HOW do you guys start/get through it?

^ I am actually drinking some nabob as I post these.

[Courtney]

^ Yoko, I just decided...Like i get severe headaches when I dont drink coffee and it sucks but the benefit of stopping totally outweights the negative! I am a really stressed out and anxious person when i'm not stoned (Lol) and it sucks so to me the headaches are worth the calm serenity....and I hear the headaches go away after aawhile! I've just been drinking lots of water as a substitute
and sleep......try to get 8 hours of sleep a night- even if it means going to bed super early!!

depends...but usually around 3-4 shots in total which isn't as bad as some but it was definetely negatively affecting me!

a good breakfast can't compete with coffee imo. it's more important than any other meal! i'd go crazy without breakfast, but I can do without coffee.

[G3N3R4L]

I go through phases of go, no go for coffee. Once I start getting the 3pm headaches if I skip the morning cup then I take a few months off.


brb, latte.

[Ragga_Wh0re]

i substituted coffee for decaf green tea.

[Lenny]

did a month without caffeine or booze. have to agree that it does wonders but I doubt I'd do it cold turkey again. :S

the next best thing that works has been taking my coffee without sugar or cream.

[robyn]

i just started taking ativan with my coffee

[-evil-duerr-]

it takes like 2 hours to wake up if i don't drink coffee, so quiting isn't really an option right now.

[Grapes]

Anyone who knows me knows that I've never had a cup of the stuff, although I did take a sip of my brothers once. It didn't taste good enough to try again.

You mean that the other way around, I think.

I've never been into coffee. I get a really bad headache about three hours after drinking a cup. I did, however, suffer from a pretty nasty 2-3 redbull a day addiction last year. But yeah, I try to limit my caffein intake. It just makes me feel gross.

Try taking some B vitamins, Courtney.

[kir mokum]

i feel like the only one who drinks coffee because i like the taste.

i feel that way about booze too.

[-evil-duerr-]

thats like saying you fart because you like the smell of it.

what a load of bs

[kir mokum]

wow, you're an idiot.

[mojo]

[kir mokum]

i've been meaning to explore the depths of different coffees with more focus.
