I Am a Caffeine Addict

I am a long term user of caffeine and energy drinks. I typically drank an energy drink a day. I have been trying to quit caffeine bc its this vicious cycle of gaining tolerance and needing more and more to not feel like crap and tired. Its also not good for my bladder as I have overactive bladder and energy drinks are just so bad for you anyways. Let me tell you caffeine withdrawal is no joke. After just 2 days without caffeine I felt like general trash, was extremely fatigued, had a terrible headache and severe brain fog to where I could barely read even half of one chapter in my textbook. I gave in and had some caffeine in the form of excedrin for my headache and all my symptoms cleared up within 30 minutes.

I've broken my caffeiene dependence before and it basically takes like a solid week or 2 to dedicate to being barely functional and feeling like shit.

Not fun.

lol I used to drink coffee all day every day for years. I just drink ginger and honey tea now and I treat myself to coffee when I'm feeling particularly groggy. You realise how much it effects you after a while, i make sure I go on a walk or something if I have it now.

@Ryannnnnn yes quitting cold turkey is proving too challenging for me right now so I am going to try switching to tea first which is much better for you and has a much lower caffeine content as well

@Hush92 Yeah thats good. I'll still drink soda sometimes but that doesn't even count tbh.

I cut back on that a lot. I have a nos or a red bull every now and then when I game but I also drink more water to dilute it.
