This conversation has you really triggered I think.

Sure it does.

Makes you lazy, too!

I was a big booze drinker and a big caffeine drinker. I was in denial about the caffeine abuse because everybody else seems to be. There is virtually no stigma associated with caffeine abuse. But I was daily trying to manage my moods with caffeine. It was classic addiction behavior.

People completely underestimate this drug. It made me emotionally volatile and anxious and bitchy. You may never have been at the level of caff addiction that I was at, but I just think its worth it for anyone to try stopping caffeine. Mornings are more pleasant. My energy level is about the same but more even. Im nicer. Its easier to go to sleep.

It was about a month or two worth of withdrawal symptoms. I felt sleepy in the middle of the day. I was going to bed at around 8pm. But I got back to normal pretty quickly.

Theres some good things in coffee like chlorogenic acid but theres other sources of that. I drink decaf green tea now if I want something hot and brown. Decaf coffee is too high in caffeine imo.


Voat really inspired me to quit booze and caffeine and to loose weight. I hadn’t been around enough people who were saying addiction is weakness and drug use was pathetic before then. I realized the truth of it. I had some revelations about the nature of how addiction works and that its a form of slavery that parasites benefit from. It was that epiphany that made it possible to quit all that stuff. I really find that having the right frame of mind about addiction, the right understanding, really makes it much easier to quit. The addiction itself tells you lies that make you want to keep using. Reality is the antidote to that internal narrative.

You should tell your IRL friends and fam how much it means to you that you got off weed. Share your success— they are probably struggling with similar problems.

That would be a good post. I quit DIY. Im interested in how the “industry” performs — if it was useful.

Mornings if i dont smoke because i have to drive, it is like a perfect storm.

Why start up again when you come back?

wow so thats what sent me to hospital all those years ago, i only smoke bud so no edibles did it, i just smoke a lot

i was screaming in pain and the nurse told me to shutup and i threw up on the floor right in front of her so they gave me 2ml of morphine straight to my gut

felt like i was floating for a few hours, it was great but the pain was something ive never had, like constantly being stabbed

I believe it.
