Hi, I’m new here. I’m here not because of alcohol (eventhough I know I have a problem there too. I avoided alcohol successfully for over a half year… then I was one night drinking with a relative, who knew I had problem with alcohol and still she managed to get me drinking… we didn’t see each other for about a decade, I know it’s not an excuse to drink… I realized then that I really cannot have even a drop). But my biggest problem/addiction now is the caffeine. I know that for most people it is not an issue and of course I don’t need the advice from them. I know what is good for me and what is not. I am on such a diet that caffeine messes with my body a lot. I’ve stopped many many many times, used all different approaches. Cold turkey works for me the best, even though it’s the most painful way. The important minerals don’t absorb because of the caffeine intake. I was a month and a half from June sober from caffeine, but then there was a stressful situation and I was offered a coffee - a sip… and there I was again! Like for the milionth time! I need some buddy with whom I would set a starting date of this challenge. Challenges work for me the best. I know I can do it, but from some reason I just need somebody to be accountable to… Preferably someone who also wants to quit caffeine, at least for “some time”… For me the crucial days are the first days when the headaches hit… If the person was paleo-keto/keto/carnivore we would understand each other even more. Thanks for hearing me out.
I also have always struggled with drinking too much caffeine. I try to keep it under 400mg a day because there seems to be a consensus that that is the “safe” limit. I’m not always successful though.
You might find this thread to be helpful!
For me even 1gr is poisones. I just cannot keep anything in “moderation”, it just doesn’t work for me. But thanks. The thread is definitelly helpful. Only I have questions and some posts are really old, that’s why I created the new post. Not sure if I could… But will see what happens.
You can always post your questions in the old thread! I think the people who can relate would probably be more likely to see your questions there because some may have their notifications on for that thread.
I had some question there… So shall I delete this thread?
I don’t think that’s necessary but a moderator might merge the two threads
