Quitting coffee was a really bad experience for me.

I had what felt like withdrawal symptoms: a strong headache, muscle aches, and I was really cold. It lasted for two days, until I took a minuscule sip and everything went away within five minutes.

That made me realize the extent to which I was actually addicted, and how dependent my body was on it.

I managed to quit and stayed caffeine-free for about a year.

But one day I said, “Just one cup won’t hurt,” and oh boy... it was like having superpowers. I was so focused, so wide awake. Of course, I’m an addict again. :(

An important point is that caffeine is a drug, and like any drug should be used for a desired purpose. If you’re going to need that extra focus, then use it. Other days you might not. Make a conscious choice about it.

Why do you even want to quit? Coffee has strong evidence pointing to it having health benefits

I was drinking too much and i started to feel like maybe i had to drop it. But yeah, not quitting again.
