good good good! i got a time of 4:05 pm on that post (but i think my clock is off by one hour)

it's 9:30 pm now. are you still on track? day is almost at an end and this makes one more counting down.

now you should be feeling those craving fade away a bit. most cases it's gone in 2 to 4 days. are the urges subsiding?

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

Yep... 9:30 now and I'm doing good. I really have been craving it today but I think that's just breaking my routine. This was the first day this week I went from the full time job to the part time one. And up until a couple days ago my routine was stop at the convenience store next door and get my Dr. Pepper in between jobs. I wanted it soooo bad when I first got there, but it's easing up. I'm drinking water water water today... I think I've had 10 glasses. Yay!

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

LOL ! I love those too!

Yes, Jimmie... this is day 4 and the headache is gone. I breezed right through that this time so that's encouraging me to stick with it. That headache that usually follows sucks.

And I went out for lunch today at the Mexican restaurant and stayed completely on track. *takes a bow* Day 3 of my clean re-started induction!

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?



GOOD FOR YOU!! JUST GETTING PAST THE HEADACHE IS A WELCOME SIGHT INDEED!

IT GETS EASIER FROM THIS POINT ON!

see, we got the last days of june and what an accomplishment for you! i am very proud of you right now!

get in plenty of water today!

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

Ok, Jimmie... you'll be proud I hope. After work I went to the convenience store before heading to the other job... just absolutely dying for something besides water. I looked at my Dr. Pepper, drooled a little and walked away! Diet Rite for me today and I'm pretty sure that the occasional one is okay on induction!

Soooo.. still caffeine free and loving it.

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

i am proud! diet rite is better but don't let it trigger anything. watch how you feel very closely. and do this occasionally.... don't let it lead to 3 a day. once in awhile and don't let it take the place of your water.

today is coming to and end and you have done very well indeed! [[[[cyber hugs]]]]

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

I promise! I only bought the one and I'll be drinking more water tonight. I'm up to 7 glasses already today on top of the Diet Rite.

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

good girl!

i think you are whipping this puppy, don't you?

[cristylp]

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

Yes, I believe I am.

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

Another day down. I'm at work and there are 4 bottles of water lined up on my desk. I'll have at least 8 glasses in by the time I leave today.

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

good morning, cristy! you sound so much better and full of steam! could be all the water! lol

you are on track now and ready to boot the addiction to the curb. it will have no holds on you anymore! it just took a few days to get it out of your system. will it flair up again? i would say maybe so, but when the craving hits, try to figure out what triggered it and then deal with it while not giving in to it.

keep up the good work you have started now! check in after lunch and tell me how good it's going!

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

Back from lunch. Another induction clean day so far and no caffeine. I'm on my 8th glass of water now. Yay!
