I honestly forgot how hard it is to quit coffee (or caffeine in general). I did it last year for 3 months and I felt amazing but since then, I got back into it as a social coffee drinker but guess what, I became more than a social drinker.
It’s been 4 days so far since I stopped drinking anything with caffeine and here’s what happened so far:
- I feel tired by 2pm & I need a quick 15min nap.
- I drink more water now since the coffee mug is no longer on my desk
- Since I wake up at 6:30am everyday, I feel tired by 9pm. Now, actually go to bed before 11pm (before, I couldn’t even fall asleep before midnight!)
- I am less agitated
- I am not experiencing any digestive issues in the morning.
- I’m back at the gym working out every morning before work.
- I simply feel healthier & more relaxed overall.
So far I’ve substituted my coffee drinking habit with:
- Water
- Herbal Teas
- Fruits
- Nuts
My goal is to actually quit forever. Let’s see if it’s possible. Have you tried this?
