Tomorrow starts no caffeine day 1 - wish me luck

And then there is decaf.
My mom mixed decaf 50/50 with the other stuff.
She then got rid of the green can before it could be found.
Nobody was the wiser. (Or so she said)
My brother is red-green color blind, so she could be right.

I hope your caffeine detox is going well. I decided to quit "again" around the 21st and I'm at 1/2 the amount per day. End of first week at 1 3/4 amount was bad, headaches and fatigue. I expect to be off by the 25th or so.

Best of Luck.

I drink a lot of Barley Cup from the health food store - it tastes quite like coffee but is caffeine free.

I also drink this. Or "Pero" or "Caffix"

Strangely, my brain accepts a cup of this dark, bitter beverage better than it accepts decaffeinated coffee.

How is the caffeine detox working out for you?

I'm down to 1/4 the amount of caffeine each day and feel good, not craving coffee (sorta) but all in all doing well. Should be off by Feb. 25.

I am down to about 1 espresso shot a day...I am a crappy addict and can't seem to nix it all, but I am substantially down from 2-3 cups a day I guess. Feels bad lol.

According to mayoclinic.org, the range of caffeine in 8 ounces of brewed coffee is from 95 to 165 mg. https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-life ... t-20049372

I like weaning off with tea. Or — yes it’s bad for you— Red Bull (small can) or soda. They all have less caffeine per serving. When I’m avoiding caffeine I love decaf it just helps me mentally. Good luck!

Thanks, Yes this seems to support my decision to choose caffeine tablets with a supposedly fixed dose instead of a guess of how much caffeine in the next cup of coffee be it from work, home, restaurant, coffee shop, friend's house.

I don't need coffee, tea, or even Dew.
Just do NOT get between me and dark chocolate.
Ghirardelli 60% cacao chips--about a half ounce, does it for me.

Thank you, Granny.
I knew there was some in there.
That and all the theobromine--makes me a happy froggie.
I only have some every few days--but it picks me up better than anything else.
Chocaholic, I am, but I have found my minimum.

It's only been a month, seems to me you are moving along, but not so much if your goal was "no caffeine"
Let your body get used to 1 shot a day and move from there.
