no coffee and no beer make bryan something something...

i did this at the beginning of january, except i cut out weed too.

after one week, i felt 100% better and i had alot more energy. although i was also completely miserable at the same time.

i think everyone needs a little help once and a while relaxing or getting themsleves going. there's nothing wrong with some beer or coffee once and a while, the trick is moderation. good luck man.

i just found recently that i'm pretty moody, and drinking in the evening
and then having coffee during the day was putting me on quite the emotional
rollercoaster. i was depending on lots of different things to make me feel better
during the day, and realized that i need to get rid of all those things.

I don't really know how long it'll last, but i think it will help me get my head straight and clear.
even tho i'm really tired right now, i feel better cause i'm not so up and down.

3 weeks...no processed sugar of any kind(so pop) and no coffee(can't have unsweetened coffee...errgg)

Once i tried to quit drinking slurpee's, that lasted for about 6 hours.

Good for you. This will make you feel a lot better about your overall persona.

p.s. i thought it was strange not seeing a stella in your hand last night@!

yeah...prolly....I dunno..I find the taste too strong without sugar and as I am lactose intolerant can't cut it with milk. I have switched to green tea in the morning...seems to work just fine.

Good job Jay, im slowly cutting back certain things as well.
Try doing some jogging, it'll help curb the cravings, give u more energy and make u feel like a million bucks.

With my school/work sched though i dont think i could stop drinkin tea/coffee, yikes.

the struggle is the lack of coffee on four hours sleep. and i'm sorry, but i know as well as any that it gets EASIER not harder the longer you go. you just try going a week without coffee, once it's done it's fine, but the first few days are rough.

yeah, that's my goal.

its just coffee

dabbler · #24 (**permalink**) Jan 26, 05

actually no it's not. sometimes it's a physical and emotional dependancy on a drug. tho i suppose to you, weed is just weed, right?

trance4life · #25 (**permalink**) Jan 26, 05

i know the effects of caffine, i work in a coffee shop
