Quitting coffee

[Jade]

My body is so conditioned to caffeine that I don't even get the side effects anymore - no jitters, no staying up later than desired. I just became chemically dependent. I suppose I've always had anxiety/sensitivity issues however so I look forward to seeing what life is like without caffeine. I've eliminated so many other chemicals from my body that it's just next on the list. Lately as I've been meditating first thing in the morning, I do appreciate the difference in mental state pre-caffeine. As my withdrawal symptoms manifested differently than I thought they would (a migraine would have been a no go - I probably wouldn't have drank coffee, but I may have taken an Excedrin), I'm pretty excited and don't intend to go back. At the moment the husband is feeling quite hopeless in his withdrawal, he's willing to stick it out a bit longer too but the shift is quite something.

best thing I ever did (quit that is).

I've heard this enough times to hope that it'll be true for me as well!

I guess I'm weaning myself because I'm still drinking tea. I have a feeling once I detox from coffee that any caffeine may become too much for me, but we'll see.
