I am tryna quit caffeine but everytime I do I end up just getting back on it literally a week/days after.
I had a thread on
>>>/qa/ but I realised a week later that it's probably not the best place to blog post anything serious.
<Consider this a last option, I have tried to quit almost 10 times now and I never hold myself accountable for getting back on it, so posting about it will probably change things.

I may also treat this more as like a journal type thing, I'm way too autistic too catch my emotions in the present moment so processing them after the fact will have to do
No I am not identifiable.

good luck, i should also try quit coffee and nicotine. maybe you should try decaf coffee? tastes the same but without the caffeine, trick your brain

Good luck. I can imagine that modern work culture will try to take you back to your old ways, which makes this even more difficult than quitting porn or alcohol. Coffee isn't shunned like most other addictions, hell it's so common that people will flip their shit once you tell them it's not okay to have 10-15 cups of coffee everyday.
>BUT I NEED IT TO WORK, DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND!!!!!! I CAN'T EVEN SLEEP PROPERLY!!! I HAVE TO DRIIIIIIIINK MORE JUST TO GET BY!!!!!
Sleep earlier, maybe that could help, retard

Oh my fauci actual discussion

>>80187Come here my boy. Let me show you the way to quit nicotine. I was a smoker since 14 (!) and I quit the same day I finished the book.
I have even had cigars and stuff since then and I just can't even touch them anymore. I have had stupid falvoured cigarellos and tried to convince myself that it's just a cigar, but the method was foolproof after the 2 years of abstinence.
No risk of falling back at all. Worth every peny, worth every second reading. God send of a book.

>>80197Caffeine has done anything but make me productive.
It makes me 10x more impulsive, way less likely to plan and organize, and forces you into a 'doing' state.
Knowing all of this, It is the only chemical I have left in my life that supplies me with any kind of joy at all, so it's been the hardest to kick.
But I'll talk about it later, I don't wanna get into why I am such a cuckhold for the stupid hot black liquid bitterness.

Forgot to post last night but whatever
Day 8!
600mg
I spent 3 hours refreshing /qa/ trying to ignore the want for covfeve but I ended up just playing hoi4 all night anyway.
Success! Somehow..!
There is no goal btw because I didn’t hit a single goal last time so I’m just fucking winging it because everything usually works out well for me that way

>>80187> maybe you should try decaf coffeeI had a vision and realised I didnt reply to this
I can't do this to myself because I also have energy drinks+caffeine pills so having decaf coffee will just be meh to me.
I have however, tried to add decaf to my normal coffee to try that. It doesn't work well enough for me to do it consistently.

>>80251Maybe try to just drink coffee to get off the pills and drinks. After that you can try decaf.

>>80294This would be awesome but unfortunately I can’t accurately dose the caffeine content in coffee. I don’t trust myself not to overshoot to compensate for this, so I dose my intake so I know not to BTFO myself

Day 8
~600mg
My memory was shot yesterday because I didn’t have any caffeine for the first few hours of my day. I felt super relaxed being off the sauce for even just a few hours but I climbed myself back up to a somewhat normal amount.
â„–80360[Quote]
>>80294My brain has obviously considered this a potential gemmy attack vector, because I literally dumped my caffeine pills into decaf coffee this morning and had an extra pill before going to the gym.
I am trying my darn hardest not to have any caffeine while I'm out, I've already removed my card from my phone so I can't impulsively buy more caffeinated drinks.
I will only have cofveve at home and I will make it decaf + caffeine pills.
Then I will try what you have said.
I think I just assumed that 'hah! I'm too heckin smart o algo to trick my brain like that!' but I literally have tricked my brain into doing other stuff, so maybe this will work!
Thanks for the suggestion, maybe I needed to hear this from someone else :)

Day 9
500mg !!
Ty to the ‘teen who told me to stop bitching and just have decaf.
I will try to only have coffee so this can remain effective for longer.
<
Maybe if I reduce the reward from drinking coffee from just using decaf, maybe I will crave it less and less overtime??

Day 10
600mg - last dose 7-8 hours ago
<
Last night I slept for 9 hours, with less caffeine in my system, while decaffinated for at least 10 hours before sleep.
<
I woke up feeling amazing and didn't even reach for my phone.
It was too ambitious however and I was sent into mania (because you can't have nice things. Not even nice things ! )
I got literally nothing done for about 3 hours and had to call off work (new co worker, not even an option to talk to people when I'm like this)
<
Currently trying to do as little as possible so my brain can normalize a little. Decaf coffee saved my ass (and my progress) today. Still kind of mesmerized by how that actually works.
â„–80485[Quote]
Even though I got literally nothing done today, I am stable so that's something. Currently glutamte-reuptake-maxxing my way to sanity, tomorrow will be much calmer.

There is no point in continuing this. I thought it would help me take this seriously but honestly, I’ve never been this BAD for caffeine EVRER!
The amount I had yesterday is irrelevant, but I stayed up super late for absolutely no reason.
I’ve come to the conclusion that stopping this will require the removal of other things in my life first.
Therefore, this thread is OBSOLETE. It was worth trying though :)

Acknowledging it as a problem seems to only make my relationship with coffee more toxic. What the fuck dude! Maybe if I pretend like it’s fuckin easy to quit, I will finally be a real wo- I mean finally quit caffeine!
