Drank coffee for 16 years…5 weeks ago I quit caffeine.

I feel more alive and alert than I ever have. It’s remarkable the difference no caffeine has made on my overall well-being.

“Im not addicted, I just really like it” said by every addict ever. Myself included.

Ditiching coffee was the best decision I made recently. No caffeine --> no carb cravings, less hunger, less anxiety, better sleep, less tired, higher productivity, better hydration. All this is much better than ~1 hour of elevated mood, higher activity/energy and then huge crush afterwards which used to end with overeating, irritation, anxiety. I actually never drank coffee, but then got addicted to it, when decided to try, because there was some researches saying that caffeine has benefits, etc. Not sure if those studies were not funded by coffee companies, though.

I am currently in my 12th month of abstaining from caffeine. The initial 30 days were surprisingly manageable with minimal withdrawal symptoms. However, around the 90-day mark, I began experiencing a profound sense of calmness. My anxieties diminished, and I found myself more levelheaded and content. The primary challenge I faced during this period was a significant increase in sugar consumption, as I used it to compensate for the absence of caffeine. This escalated to a point where it posed a threat to my health, resulting in a weight gain of about 10 pounds. After a year-long journey, I have successfully overcome my caffeine addiction. Currently, I am in my fourth week of abstaining from sugar, anticipating another year of navigating the challenges associated with breaking another addiction.

I drank around 4 monster energy drinks every day since I was around 13, I'm now 29. But then I recently read the book "Caffeine Blues" and decided to stop completely. And wow, I've never had this much energy, my social anxiety went away with like 70-80%, I'm no longer irritated or angry, I feel very calm and just so alive. Even if I've slept really bad a night, I get up alert and have energy the whole day.

Thank you for not using distracting "background music" in your interesting videos!

I quit coffee 6 weeks ago and don’t miss it. The headaches for the first week were brutal!!!

For anyone with skin issues and acne. Try quitting coffee to see if it helps. I had such bad cystic acne for years, I quit coffee and my skin never looked so good. I miss it though!

If you watched this in its entirety it most likely means you're addicted to caffeine, which is fine, most of us are. This video is full of great and accurate science on why you should quit your addiction, but like most videos of its kind it gives you a lot of grace to continue, but perhaps with more control, which for most people is not a thing with any addiction. No addiction counselor would ever suggest this with any other addiction, but society seems to be OK with caffeine enough to let it slide. Let it go and let it go forever, it will be worth it I promise. I wish you all the best of luck with one of the most insidious addictions and health offenders of our modern times.

My intuition has been telling me to ditch coffee for yrs. It wasn't until watching your informative video that I feel I have the reasons why I should. Thanks

I quit caffeine 5 and a half months ago. The first month was hard. But now, I feel so much better. I didn’t realize how much of my anxiety and restlessness was generated by the 8 cups of coffee I drank everyday for several years 😂. The calm I feel now is life changing. I also don’t have peaks and crashes anymore. I’m full of a steady amount of energy in the day time and slowly get tired toward the evening - like a normal human being lol. I don’t feel wired in the morning or exhausted by midday.

One day about a month ago I had a cup of coffee at a restaurant after lunch. It gave me insomnia all night. I don’t miss the coffee. I’m done with it.

[josephmonroy]

I've completely cut out alcohol the last month and reduced coffee to my morning cup. No sugar or cream. I feel absolutely 💯.

I drank coffee for 24 years and quit almost 4 weeks ago. My anxiety is gone, my face is clearing up, I am able to do my job without constantly stressing, I don’t have the constant tormenting thoughts about Having to have a coffee anymore, I sleep Great. Best decision ever! And for those wanting a coffee alternative Teechino is an herbal coffee with zero caffeine. The dandelion caramel nut is my fave. The book Caffeine Blues is amazing too. Caffeine is a drug. I just found that out a couple of weeks ago. Man have I been deceived. I also learned the cup all of the medical data goes by is considered a mere 6 ounces. Most everyone in the world has over the amount that is deemed ok for health. Another thing I was deceived about as well. I feel so free now and I am never going back to that bondage of addiction.

Over 2 months off caffeine and coffee. I really have noticed some huge positives! I can control my cravings way better, didnt realize that until you pointed this out. Definitely more stable energy, better digestion. So happy i quit caffeine for good!

The adenosine explanation makes sense to me. It has been about 25 days now since I quit my 6-cup a day coffee habit. Do you want to know what went away after the first week without caffeine?

Answer: My daily 2:00 pm mid-afternoon “crash” where I felt an overwhelming urge to go to sleep. I no longer catch myself nodding off at my desk after the lunch hour. I’m wide awake - alert - and have no more brain fog making it impossible for me to concentrate and focus. It is so refreshing not to struggle with that anymore.

Getting off of caffeine is one of the very best addictions that I’ve ever managed to kick.

I’ve given up many things to live a healthier life. But, I don’t want to and I’m not going to give up my morning coffee, no matter what!

[newlife]

I'm 3 months free from all sources of Caffeine, feel much much better, sleep almost perfect and anxiety completely gone🕺🙂

[PBfightknight]

After several years of 800mg daily caffeine deployment: cold stop.

Day 1: fatigue akin to staying awake for 48 hours
Day 2: severe headaches and half as much fatigue
Day 3: reached ‘cruising altitude’ energy levels only minutes after waking up
Day 4: last day of cravings
Day 5: enhanced mental clarity and calmness when angered/stressed at work/life whatever


Currently day 6. I’ve had deep immersive dreams every night. Anecdotal evidence but I’ll take it!

[BtcSimmer]

Over 40 days free of coffee here! Went from 1-2 cups a day right up to 5-7 per day before I stopped feel great! Try it sometime 😊
