Yeah, [caffeine] withdrawal feels like being sick enough that I've done that, too. I always intended to start drinking again, though, especially once I learned that it was so easy to stop; I'm no longer concerned about moderate quantities. In the 90s I worried about whether I could quit at will; now I know it doesn't take much to stop indefinitely, so there isn't as much reason to. :)
- Tichy 18y agoStill, I wonder if seeming easy to quit is just a trick that coffee plays on us. At least for me it works: since I now think that quitting is easy, I don't quit, because I am so sure I could easily quit any day. Without seeming easy to quit, coffee might not be as widespread as it is. I have read somewhere that among "addiction experts", having successfully quit means being clean for 6 months. I only went 1 month max so far...
- randallsquared 18y agoHm. The most I've gone is 2-3 months, unless you'll accept a 12 oz Coke every few days as "clean", in which case I've done just about 6 months, once, in 2001.
