I've been caffeine free so I know that feeling. Gonna have the headache again I'm sure but it will be worth it.

Thanks for the encouragement!

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

Sunday morning, so far so good. It's been over 24 hours since I had caffeine but I'm sure wishing I had my Dr. Pepper. The Crystal Light seems to be helping and today I'm going to make a big effect to drink a lot of plain water again.

No church for me this morning.... I didn't even get out of bed until 10:00. Bad, bad....

I'm 12 days on Induction and 12 days without coffee, and I'm a *huge* coffee fan, but I want to get rid of this addiction.
I'll drink some coffee in the future but it will be a "now and then" thing, not a must have! And anyway I don't want to compromise my weight loss

cristy, good to see you hanging in there! good girl! see, you got through 24+ hours and your still kicking it. after a day more, maybe 2, you should start seeing this craving fade to the background. you know this is a grand addiction so you should steer clear of it until you can handle things. sorta like an alcoholic staying away frome booze. they might be sober but still an alcoholic. your a caffeine addict so you might be clean but you might always have to really watch so you don't trigger the cravings.

okay, onward for another couple of hours! you're doing great!

roshen, like i just told cristy, if your addicted, the addiction will most likely always be there. you are just going to take care of those cravings. and you so right on with not wanting to compromise the good work that is already happening with your body.

good work girls. one week left in june and the good news is you will be going into july whipping this!

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

Well... I didn't sleep well and it didn't have anything to do with caffeine, but what's new? LOL I'm surprised I haven't had a headache yet *knock on wood*. One more day down... a new one to face.

Wish me luck.

Thanks for your encouragement, Jimmie. It means a lot.

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

see, you can do it, cristy! i am surprised about the lack of headache too. lets be thankful for that.

new day, new challenges but you can do this.

how's come you don't sleep? try some melatonin. it's mentioned in the book. mog uses it, i use it and i'll bet a few more use it. some say it will cause dreams. i don't know so much about that. i dream without it so i have nothing to compare it too.
you can get melatonin at any drug store, wal-mart etc. i take two of the 3mg as needed.

I'll have to give that a try cause this sleepless thing gets really old. I think it's from being alone now and not being where I want to be. Life gets so complicated and I let it stress me.

I'll go check into melatonin today. I've heard of it but never thought about trying it. ANYthing is worth a try. I tried Tylenol PM a couple times and it seemed to work, but I've heard that you can get used to it and then won't be able to sleep without it. I was afraid to take it too often.

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

Today I have a little headache, but not the major one I've had before when I cut out the caffeine.

Jimmie.... I'm still caffeine free! Two days down.

Yes... we are definitely caffeine free and no more headache! I'm still wanting my Dr. Pepper and was thinking I could have one as long as it's caffeine free. NOOOO.... it's still got the icky sweetener in it. Water for me today!

Today is work.... two jobs - I have a full time one and a part time one. I probably work 60 hours a week between the two. That will keep my hands busy but my mind still is in overdrive.

(Still no word as of this morning.)

Have a great day and I'll check back in a while.
