Thats the addiction talking.

Why quit if you enjoy it. Life is too short to be miserable. Coffee is good.

[ - ] PostWallHelena 5 points 5 monthsDec 6, 2024 13:34:44 ago (+5/-0)

What if you quit coffee and you didn’t feel miserable? What if you didn’t miss it at all?

I used to drink like 5 cups a day plus several caffienated diet sodas. Ive always suffered from chronic low energy and I just thought maybe I could function more normally if I drank another cup of coffee. Eventually I switched to half caf but I would just compensate by drinking more. I was a junkie.

I think there is a mood high that we don’t talk about, which I was also chasing. It took 2 cups in the morning for me to get out the front door. I was really mean when I couldn’t have my coffee. Nobody attaches the slightest bit of stigma to heavy caffeine use but after my experiences quitting other drugs, I realized that caffeine is just the same. I recognized addict like behaviors in myself, like my constant attempts to improve my mood/energy level with the drug. I was on a hamster wheel tbh.

Hilariously, I thought I was a night owl. I would switch over to decaf after 3 or 4 but that shit has still got alot of caffeine. I thought I was “not a morning person” but that was because I felt like a bitch every morning because I was in withdrawal.

Ive already stated elsewhere that quitting caffeine was totally freeing. As rewarding as when I quit alcohol. I feel much more even keeled— less emotionally spikey. The mornings are more pleasant. Im a nicer person imo. Less anxiety. I do not have less energy. Also I consume less calories from that crappy creamer and my consumption of artificial sweetner is close to zero. And I have more money. Not alot more. But probably $1000 bucks a year more. Something in that ball park. And Im asleep by 11 or so usually.

The industry of caffeine is just like the alcohol industry or the cocaine industry or the heroine industry. It is an inefficient use of our resources. In short , its kiked. Its a scam to make people into zombie slave addicts and make money off them so that some fat kikey faggot can get rich. People who work productive jobs are poor while rent seeking kikes live off drugs and usury and porn and socialism— all non-productive industries that redistribute wealth from wealth producers to shifty parasites living off addiction and other forms of trickery.

Caffeine is no different. When the kikes and the european nobility discovered addictive drugs like rum, caffeine, tobbacco and opium, they used cheap nigger labor to produce it and they lived off the european population by addicting them to all this shit. Caffeine profits were stolen from the masses to fund the aristocracy. It gave us niggers and all the elites and kikes should have lost their heads over this stuff.

We can never have a meritocracy if we allow elites to make billions off addictions, no matter how “harmless”. I can’t believe I was on that hamster wheel for 30+ years! Fuck caffeine. What, like I don’t fork over enough money to tropical shitskins already? Who do you think is growing this stuff?

Get your chlorogenic acid from prunes. Quit caffeine and put a corporate kike out of business.

Caffeine from coffee appears to have no effect on my energy level, and I have tea up until going to sleep.

[ - ] PostWallHelena 2 points 5 monthsDec 6, 2024 13:45:39 ago (+2/-0)

You knew I would be here didn’t you? I suspect that you have a high tolerance to caffeine as I once did.

[ - ] Sector2 2 points 5 monthsDec 6, 2024 14:10:57 ago (+2/-0)

That could be, but I mainly drink tea for the hot flavorful liquid aspect. Maybe I'll try a month with no caffeine after this current gallon of half & half is used up.

probably $1000 bucks a year

I've only spent around $850 on tea this year so far. A $1000 worth of roasted coffee beans is around 62 pounds at $16 ea.

Herbal teas have no caffeine and are actual medicine and can also taste good. Just switch it up if you have things you would like to support or improve and ideas for it just ask

[ - ] PostWallHelena 1 point 5 monthsDec 6, 2024 15:34:08 ago (+1/-0)

But I would often buy a cup from dunkin donuts or a restaurant. I used keurig cups for convenience. I spent money on coffee makers and creamer and fake surgar. Plus I had a soda habit. Yeah I think 1000 dollars is a reasonable estimate.

I used keurig cups for convenience. I spent money on... creamer and fake sugar.

Oof. I'm glad you quit the self abuse.

Some people have the caffeine gene and metabolize it very quickly and aren't that much affected by it.

Chlorogenic acid MY BALLS

Oh is that another source?

That might have been the most convincing argument against caffeine I could have imagined... I kept reading it thinking of ways to disagree and keep seeing coffee as a good thing.

The only thing I came up with is i like the way it taste and it is more of a social thing for me hey let's hang out and coffee is like a place holder during the conversation... but I'm sure it could be replaced with something healthier that taste just as good.

Great reply it's people like you that keep me sticking around this place the one line jokes that are reddit tier the bots etc I just get sick of that shit.

Great reply again

I dont use caffeine anymore after being a MASSIVE caffeine addiction for 25 years.

It sucked and I had a headache for 2 weeks.
Now I don't need something to "wake up". I don't need a "pick me up" in the afternoon. I don't need a pill or potion to help me sleep at night. I just wake up and sleep like a normal person. And I don't spend 8 dollars a day on energy drinks or coffee.

[ - ] Sector2 2 points 5 monthsDec 6, 2024 13:36:45 ago (+2/-0)

I've effectively quit coffee in favor of tea recently. Last coffee was a few months ago, but I do have a couple pounds of green to roast.

[ - ] Trope 1 point 5 monthsDec 6, 2024 23:43:02 ago (+1/-0)

When I am completely off caffeine, I fall asleep quickly and stay asleep throughout the night and dream more.

If I drink decaf in the morning, my sleep is much worse.

When I drink regular coffee in the morning, anything over 200mg of caffeine will have me wake up constantly throughout the night.

I’ve been weening off using caffeine pills. One dose first thing in the morning is nice. I’ve noticed as my tolerance has diminished, the effects of caffeine feel much better.

To me, there is absolute proof that caffeine affects sleep quality at any dosage. The best sleep comes from being completely off it.

Quit drinking coffee?? Fuck that shit! I just switched to half-caf many years ago and love it. I do not drink energy drinks as those are for homo's so they can suck dick faster.

Grind my own from local roasters. Blue and red jugs from the bigs has sawdust and wood chips in it. Never quiting .Coffee is breakfast and lunch

I quit drinking coffee. There is a high level of mold in cheap coffee due to the drying process. I have a mold allergy. I used to shit my brains out all day. I think coffee was a big part of that. Maybe it doesn’t bother you to that level.

I quit caffeine for a short time like a couple weeks. The first drink I had after that had me cracked out

[ - ] CasualObserver 1 point 5 monthsDec 6, 2024 16:24:38 ago (+1/-0)

if you have negative side effects when you stop using a product (splitting headaches), then you should probably cut back on the product. (caffeine)

organic tea is great and you can control your caffeine intake better.

Just watch out for the plastic they spray on tea bags.

Coffee is a nigger industry to support.

Monster drinks and diet soda are literally poison. It makes sense to stop drinking poison. Whereas coffee is a perfectly fine beverage and there's not a thing wrong with consuming it. Why would you want to stop?

If you're concerned -- you're not but I'm making a point here -- about the caffeine then drink decaf. The decaffeination process -- there are several actually -- have been perfected for years and great tasting decaf is readily available.

I argue that coffee is better for you than tea which is high in oxalates, but most people are not bothered by them so it's a hard argument to make stick. But there's also Yerba Mate and a zillion other herbal beverages that you could partake in. Anything as long as it's not fucking soda or energy drink or etc etc.

I must have died.

That is the only way I'm giving up smokes and coffee.

Ever since my commute went to five mins from 45 mins, it just sort of quietly dropped out of my daily routine. I still grab an iced from the local creamery a few times a year, but it's def no longer a daily drinker.

[ - ] WNwoman 1 point 5 monthsDec 6, 2024 14:41:22 ago (+1/-0)

I enjoy coffee and wine both because I’m able to drink in moderation.

[ - ] kammmmak 1 point 5 monthsDec 6, 2024 14:20:27 ago (+1/-0)

I do two espresso lattes each and every morning. No other drinks just water and no other stimulants not even chocolate. No carbonated water.. That stuff seriously floors one and is the worst.

[ - ] albatrosv15 1 point 5 monthsDec 6, 2024 13:58:24 ago (+1/-0)

Yes, you should. You know it.
Anyway, i was quite a coffee addict for some years. Withdrawal symptom is massive headaches for two days, but somehow my polyps are not an issue anymore.

[ - ] Bassman9000 1 point 5 monthsDec 6, 2024 13:13:55 ago (+1/-0)

Only trick with coffee is to try to hold off for at least 2 hrs after you wake up.

It hacks your body so you don't crash in the afternoon. If you have caffeine before fully awake it makes you crash mid afternoon.

[ - ] PostWallHelena 1 point 5 monthsDec 6, 2024 13:33:01 ago (+1/-0)

I stopped drinking caffeine. I don’t crash in the afternoon. Its the high that makes you crash.

Depends on the coffee to be honest.
If you drink preground shit from a can then yes,spare yourself and upgrade what can be a near life hack.
French Press and whole beans is coffee defined.
Starbucks makes billions off the same concept and tools.
Grind fresh and 190°double filtered water.
Not your daddys Folgers I promise.

[ - ] ButtToucha9000 -1 points 5 monthsDec 6, 2024 15:18:10 ago (+0/-1)

French press is no better or worse than drip or espresso or pour over its just different. They all make different types of coffee for different desires

Found the jealous idiot.
STFU

Coffee is not deadly. In fact coffee has many health benefits. It is when people overconsume it becomes problematic. Enjoy your coffee. Don't be a zealot.

**I would consider sourcing quality coffee. Not the shit sold in the grocery store in the big plastic tubs.
I have one cup per day, sometime two of coffees from fresh roasted coffee dot com. Just quality beans, no mysterious additives like preservatives, etc.
