I am 3 weeks into a month of zero caffeine. It's actually a completely sober month: no alcohol, no weed, no caffeine, etc. I went cold turkey. The first 2-3 days I felt some mental fog and tightness in my head. I helped myself get through that by reminding myself that caffeine constricts bloodflow so what I was feeling was probably the sensation of more blood flowing through my head (which is probably a good thing). The upsides are that I am WAY less anxious and much more calm. Also much less prone to irritable outbursts. My self-control in general is very strong right now, probably because my psyche knows that we are going through a very challenging experience so being controlled in other areas is easier right now. One thing to notice is if any other goals around self-control start slipping while you abstain from caffeine. I.e. you can't have coffee so you start backsliding on other goals as a way to satisfy addictions. For example I practice a vegan diet and one day I caved into my craving for pancake (with eggs). Aside from that I'm hitting more of my daily goals which is why I say that my self-control is higher right now. I'm still thinking about coffee a lot. I miss my morning ritual of going to a coffee shop and reading. Also I just love the taste of a latte. I've been drinking a lot of zero-caffeine tea to substitute my oral fixation habits. Bengal Spice from Celestial Tea is very tasty! I don't notice a huge increase or decrease in energy. I still get tired in the afternoon and I still take naps (I had that habit even while on caffeine). After this experience I will probably set a habitual goal to keep my caffeine intake down to a drink per day or something. I have tried that before and it didn't stick. Suggestions on how to make it stick welcome! Last note: it's satisfying to see the gradual savings of not spending $5 or more per day at a coffee shop!
