What the hell.. How do people feel this way towards coffee? It’s coffee not heroine. I’ve managed to easily quit multiple times for months with no withdrawal symptoms and decide to drink it again anyways because I concluded no difference in how I felt before and after. I guess either genetics plays a pretty big factor or there’s a placebo effect going on.
You don't. You need to be "energized" you've been memed. Your ancestors didn't need to be. You sleep better, have less spikes and drops through the day, and are more consistent and stable with your energy.
I quit all drugs. I begun with alcohol and the herbal israelite.
Then I quit tobacco. I quit cold turkey. Took me a year to quit that habit and now I'm 2 years smoke free.
Then came sugar which was difficult at first. I have it on cheat days hto.
Then I quit the last drug caffeine. I had headaches first. I drank decaf coffee first but I quit that too.
People think I'm crazy. Maybe.
I used to be quite literally addicted to monsters and reigns this spring and summer, I decided to quit cold turkey and just switch to tea. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made, I noticed I used to get super jittery and spastic when on energy drinks but switching to tea I don’t feel the jitteriness but I do feel the awake ness from the tea. I do catch myself eyeballing the energy drinks when I walk into a gas station but always say no. WAGMI
The energy you get from caffeine is a lie it is your withdrawal going away. The symptoms are different for everyone but expect it to take 20 days to reach normal but this new normal will be better than when you were consuming caffeine.
objectively wrong, at least at a population level. It might work like that for certain individuals though. It is a drug, and drugs affect each person differently.
Taper off if you do decide to quit. Going cold turkey can really cause a lot of trouble. I know a guy who went through months of hell dealing with shit like early waking insomnia, depression, etc., and there are hundreds of stories on sites like r*ddit of the same thing so it's not just a freak occurrence. Coffee is best enjoyed on occasion and not as a regular part of one's lifestyle.
Godspeed man I hope you can do it, I've been trying for 15 years
Well friend for me it's because I turn into a dysfunctional jittery mess so much as I like it, need to give it up.

>I concluded no difference in how I felt before and after
then why drink it?
Presumably you aren't drinking 8 cups a day like these morons.
I have a freind that drank 5+ cups a day and I can tell he has an issue.
I recently got into coffee brewing at home with arabica beans that I ground and prepare. Is it really that bad to drink a 200ml cup a day?
How the frick do these people sleep? If I have a cup later than 3pm it fricks with my sleep schedule.
don't buy any more. if it's in my house I'll drink it. still have a few cups on the weekend when I hang out with my mom for breky.

>and he likes moe
kings walk among us

happened to me
I think I had been on 400+ mg a day for about 5 years

A nice alternative to caffeine is amphetamines, after trying that you never will want to go back to coffee.

Based.
I'm only having one big cup today. I finished it right before 7am.
Gonna maintain this until I have no withdrawal symptoms from the wean. Then I will very slowly shrink the cuppa, or mix in decaf/Teecino.
ONE cuppa BEFORE 7--that rule I will not break.

It takes about 10 days to quit. Go cold turkey and take 800mg ibuprofen daily. Its annoying but doable
Sounds about right. Sucks having to take gym time off. How are you gonna train when the morning poop won't come?
