i will not justify my caffeine addiction because i admit that im addicted. i quit booze and smoking but i just can't quit coffee. is like a morning ritual going to the coffee shop having that qt waitress smile at me and being in my car in the morning. is it healthy? no. does it frick my sleep? yes im i more anxious? of course
How I got rid of coffee: started by having an espresso in the morning then black tea rest of the day. Swapped black tea for green tea, then swapped the espresso for green tea, then swapped it for herbal tea. No more caffeine
youre moronic, israelites are against caffeine and products that are actually beneficial...they only want you to consume porn and vaccines >inb4 rotschild banned raw milk from being in the market
Kek no
In what world do israelites want less avenues to make money off you? Are you fricking moronic? There's no line of reasoning here at all. You think there's not israelites in charge of every soda or energy drink corporation? Actually ridiculous how many layers of mental gymnastics you're going through to justify your addiction. Top addict behavior.
and good on you op, ive been trying to quit a couple times but i like the feeling of warm coffffeee too much. for now i limit my intake to 3 mugs per day and dont drink it later than 3pm
I had stopped drinking coffee for a week because I got sick and then I had 1 coffee from my Italian coffee maker at 9am and my heart was beating extremely hard and I couldn't sleep until 1 am. I must have messed up my body with all of the coffee I used to drink. Now u only have coffee if I eat chocolate cake
I know coffee is good for me but I dont like the concept of being addicted so i think ill quit too, and eventually have the odd cup as a special occasion like a beer, not all day every day like a slave
I made a thread saying the same thing but it had too many spazzes arguing about if its good for you so i ditched it
I quit for 6 months and I felt nothing
then I started drinking coffee again and I felt... nothing
unless you drink like 3 cups a day there's no reason to quit
What about healthier caffeine sources like green tea or yerba mate? I don't think coffee is all that bad for you, but matcha and gyokuro are clearly healthier, and I never see anyone lay out arguments against stuff like that.
How can anyone become addicted to caffeine? I just have a coffee after lunch and maybe one in the morning at much and not even everyday, just mix with other infusions like tea or pennyroyal or something?
Based moron addict not realizing he's addicted. You're no different than those meth heads who thinks they can just go cold turkey for a month without any issues, but they just don't feel like doing it, hehe
I only ever drank instant coffee. Never got addicted to it. 0 pangs.
I've heard instant is way less addictive but i dont understand why. It still has caffeine.
I used to drink coffee a liter at a time, but I've found I can train just as hard with either nothing at all or just a cup of tea. so sometimes I'll drink it because I like, but I don't consider it much as a pre-workout. plus, I sleep a bit better without drinking it, even if I stop having it by noon

how many cups of coffee are you drinking in a day?
One ice espresso in the morning 4 shots and that’s it and sometimes a second espresso (2shots) two or three times a week
No it hasn’t you lying israelite
Why would a israelite try to get you to stop consuming something? israelites are the ones who sell shit, they only benefit from increased consooming.
youre moronic, israelites are against caffeine and products that are actually beneficial...they only want you to consume porn and vaccines

Just don't drink caffeine after 4pm and you have no reason to quit
based quads of questionable truthiness

The half life of coffee is very long. If you have 2 cups by the time you are in bed you have half a cup in your system

Elaborate
Energy is more consistent, sleep is better
I miss good sleep.
Kicked caffeine for a while and took it for granted, let myself got hooked again, sadly.

>clearly healthier
come on now
How can anyone become addicted to caffeine? I just have a coffee after lunch and maybe one in the morning at much and not even everyday, just mix with other infusions like tea or pennyroyal or something?
Caffeine is about as addictive as heroin.
and you are as moronic as a down syndrome
I am on IST.
All this tells me is that heroin isn't addictive and people are just moronic.
>I just have a coffee
Now try not having..
I do, I choose when to have it and when not to
I can pass the time I want without caffeine, you're weak
please cease caffeine entirely for the next two weeks straight. let us know how it goes.
bet you haven’t done this in years. for me, it was less than a month ago.
On my third week and feel better than I have in years. Muscles feel less tense and have less anxiety. Not sure if I’ll go back to caffeine after this
How can anyone become addicted to ketamine? I only use it twice a day every single day without fail and if I skip a day I’ll be a total wreck.
Based moron addict not realizing he's addicted. You're no different than those meth heads who thinks they can just go cold turkey for a month without any issues, but they just don't feel like doing it, hehe
I only ever drank instant coffee. Never got addicted to it. 0 pangs.
I've heard instant is way less addictive but i dont understand why. It still has caffeine.
Forgot to say I had many seasons when I would go without drinking for like 3 months. Now my last cup was last year.
caffeine is not bad though.

tea has caffeine
not herbal teas
Anything else I can drink in the morning? I can't go poopoo unless I drink a hot beverage
>game changer
I have ADHD and recently quit. I'm at 55 days.
My mental health is better, my focus has improved, I can actually sleep, and I don't drink 6 cans of Diet Coke a day.
Caffeine is for lazy people who won't meditate or put in the mental reps.
On one hand, caffeine can improve brain function and testosterone.
On the other hand, you can overdo it and cause stress and heart problems.
I don't drink alcohol, don't smoke weed, don't do hard drugs or have prescriptions.
But I still drink a bit of coffee, like 1-2 cups a day if I feel like drinking coffee that day.
OP, do you think I should quit the caffeine? How has this been a "game changer" for you?
I tried not drinking caffeine past 5pm for a couple of days and had a harder time falling asleep
i heart coffee OwO uwu
For, quitting masturbation was the game changer
