Day 2 without caffeine...

...and I'm doing just fine.

Anyone else try kicking the coffee habit?

Once, But it is one of those substances I would rather keep in my daily diet.

I tried to stop drinking Coke because it was eating a whole in my stomach but I'm apparently quite addicted to caffeine and got terrible headaches. I'm also quite a bastard when I don't drink it... So I'm trying to ween myself off it rather than going cold turkey.

Ha, I say the same thing about smoking. "I'm weaning myself off it." With what? Lighting little sticks on fire and sticking them in my mouth?

I stopped soda about 3 days ago. I was only having one or two Diet Cokes a day, so I haven't noticed anything. But then, I've never felt anything as a result of caffiene, so I wasn't expecting a change.

Caffeine? That's not an addiction. You ever suck dick for caffeine?

Well I'm down from 2-3 L per day (which was my worst last year) to a 600 mL bottle per day. It's slowly working... sort of.

I had wicked headaches the first two nights, but today... nothing. I'm ready for a siesta though. But it's like 80 in my office, and I just ate...

addiction to caffeine is a myth.



right?

i'm not kicking it, but i'm proud of you, babe.

Is it cause yer broke?
Can I buy you a cup?

its tuff stuff! i stopped drinking all caffeine products for more than a year.. and the past 2 months ive gotten sucked into the habit again! i need to quit.. . but caffeine headaches are poo

I am not quitting coffee, but I am quittng Everquest 2. Not the same thing exactly, but crack is crack, eh?

Nah. More of a general health/stress management thing.

The best part is once you've kicked the habit for a decent period of time your body loses it's tolerance. After that, one pepsi worth of caffine will hit you pretty hard... It's really just a gateway drug...

But would you say NO if someone said " hey lets have a coffee together" ?

Coffee...

*twitch

Where?!?

I don't want to talk about it, that was a dark time in my life...

Coffee is horrible.
So i guess i'm not addicted.
My last cup was..... 9 months ago?

I quit for a long time.
You get horrible headaches for a few weeks, but then those go away. I found I slept better off of caffeine.

And when you go back....hoooo boy, it feels all powerful and stuff again. One soda will keep you awake all night.

Like smoking, drinking, and drugs, I never started.

Hell. No.

wean yourself onto green tea. the caffeine is much less harsh and quite beneficial, what all the antioxidants and such.
