What?!? It's one the most addictive drugs there is.
Those migraines you mentioned are one of many terrible withdraw symptoms.
It is the only drug I truly have been unable to quit. Despite weeks of being off of it, I always relapse after the cravings get too much.
It was easier to quit cigs for me than it is to stop drinking coffee. If it's a stimulant it's going to be very hard to quit.
The only reason it's not considered an addiction by experts is because you don't destroy your life when you run out, BECAUSE IT'S EVERYWHERE and super accepted (you can do it at work), also because I assume $$$.
So it's sort of like mobile/social media addiction but worse because it's more acceptable and it has physical withdrawal/cravings.
Now I'm going to go have a coffee because I have a headache and I'm irritated.
- LeoTinnitus 7y agoSugar is addictive too. Should we cut that entirely out of our diets too? The fact that it isn't bad for you doesn't make addiction a bad thing. It's when addiction consumes your life and you forgo the good things in life that it becomes bad.
- s_y_n_t_a_x 7y agoDidn't say we should cut it out, just was replying to the GP that it's not easy to quit, it's very addictive. I didn't say it would consume your life and make you forgo the good things.
