Coffee, 2 weeks later

~petpave

I was heavy drinker of coffee for 20 years. I started to drink coffee at college. It tasted horrible. But I learned it is less unappetizing when milk is added.

So, I stopped drinking it 2 weeks ago. From 6 double cups a day to 0.

First day was ok. But than I got heavy headache for a day, when I took a painkiller. And then it was ok.

I still have some green tea every day.

I was expecting severe struggles, more headaches, so it is pleasing.

I feel good. I don't have huge cravings for coffee. Sometimes I do, but nothing I can't overcome.

I expected impact on my sleep, but I sleep more or less same. Maybe I feel I have more energy and I am less tired.

I will add another month of coffee less life.

Will see where it gets me.

I'm glad you're able to grow from this. Drinking a lot of coffee seems to be normalized where people think its ok to just chug a lot of coffee - and this is from someone who likes having coffee everyday. Cheers!

I can only encourage you to go on with your project... i also was a heavy coffee drinker and only realised how much more energy (which i still find counter intuitive) i had if i don't drink coffee after i was forced to quit it due to a nasty gastritis.

Now i drink coffee again, but only one or two cups a day (and this is somewhat funny considered i work for a coffee firm now).
