>>13545 I think caffeine might be one of the easier habits to break but it’s still hell. I am in the process of cutting down my drinking - much harder.
I honestly found quitting smoking easier than dropping caffeine. Still haven't fully succeeded, though I have managed to cut it down quite a bit.
The thing with caffeine is that people think it perks you up on a morning, but that's not true. It's just the satiation of withdrawal that makes you feel human instead of completely lousy. People don't really take it seriously as an addiction but it's a fucking strong one if you ask me.
>>13549 Is that strictly true? I mean if you're smashing ten cups a day I get it. But I have one cup of coffee in the morning that does feel like it wakes me up a bit, as well as initiating the morning shit.
I mean caffeine is a stimulant, surely it has some effect in terms of perking you up and whatnot. I get that if you're chucking tons down your neck it will end up being a means to feeling normal, but surely downing a stimulant in the morning will also actually wake you up a bit?
>>13552 Seems to ring true for me, coffee stopped perking me up years ago and it will keep me awake/mobile for the day at a push but only if I have lots of it, and then it's not a good kind of awake because I feel absolutely rubbish. Switching to having a cup of tea instead of coffee has been miles better for me, personally, and I've cut down on coffee loads now, though I'll still have one every so often for the taste. Definitely feel better for it.
>>13568 Thinking about it I did actually go through a period of constipation after cutting down significantly so maybe that's just what happens, but it should pass.
