Addicted to Caffeine?

[jimmie 48]

in spite of being at goal.............
in spite of what the book says.............
in spite of it all...............
a couple of us are feeling the addiction.

no coffee
no tea
no soft drinks

if you are addicted and want to quit this habit, just join in and lets see how we do for the next 30 days.

i think the discussion was DECAF would be allowed, but if you feel the need to chunk it all, then do that.

we will begin this on sunday june 4 and go, at least, through the end of june.


i'm in!

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

WOW, that is awesome for you all!

I really don't drink much caffeine, I try to reserve it for days that I *need* something to get me over the afternoon hump.

I will be cheering for you from the sidelines!!

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

thanks freckles! it's always nice to have a couple more hands cheering the weary ones one!!!

good to have you among us , august! (i am thinking postitive) you have until next sunday to either drink up till your sick or start weaning yourself off of the stuff.


i think we decided decaf was going to be okay. somebody correct me it that is not right. my morning 2 cups is more for the warmth of something. i will probably get some decaf teas. this is what i had done several weeks ago but all the teas are gone.


this morning i didn't have anything but some sugar free tang.
lauren? how bout you? and luck this morning?

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

I'm shying away from challenges right now, but I'll help cheer you all on! Wo hooo!

So far I'm two weeks gone without anything that has caffiene in it: chocolate, coffee, tea, and diet pops...all those hidden things that have caffiene in them, ugh!

Best wishes!

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

lisa, we'll take you as a cheerleader any day! you and freckles both.
you are right there with us anyway because you've already got 2 weeks on us!

this is how serious i am taking this, i have a pounding headache. i think it's the heat. i haven't taken an exedrin yet and i will try not to. depends on how the rest of the afternoon goes.

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

Hang in there you guys! You can beat this! I was a morning pot of coffee drinker for as long as I can remember. I gave it up the day I started induction and haven't had a cup since! Almost 2 years! Headaches will make you want to give up, but don't do it!! You will be so much better off!! I'm cheering ya on!!

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

One word: TYLONAL! and not the fake kind either

[jimmie 48]

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

i am glad that we are taking a week to wean ourselves here. i just couldn't take this headache any more. just so you know, this is not caffeine related. it is from stress and the heat. i know the symptoms very well....... i took 2 exedrines because it is the only thing that will knock this out of me. i've had this headache for a couple of days and it's time for it to be gone.

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

Stress and heat with caffiene withdrawls sounds like wild combination. I

Lipton Teas have a great selection of decafe teas.

Hang in there!


Lauren....how you doing?

[jimmie 48]

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

august? how are you doing this morning? weaning yourself off or gearing up for sunday?

lauren? did you do any cups this morning?

i don't have any decaf anything in the house. the headache is a little better but not completely gone. just so everyone knows, this headache is not from withdrawal of anything. just wanted to make that clear.
i am sipping on some sugar free tang at the moment.
