Caffeine
I've been without it for 2.5 days.

I've heard that liquor helps...

RE: Caffeine
It may be frowned upon by my employer, however...

RE: Caffeine
Why would ever do that to yourself?
Flying a plane is no different than riding a bicycle, just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes. |

RE: Caffeine
I have coffee and tea at my beck and call. Werd.
Are you trying to quit caffeine? The Ark was built by a lone amateur, and the Titanic was built by an impressive group of professionals. |

Because right now if I try to drink "just one cup" I'll inevitably go right back to drinking it all day long.

RE: Caffeine
I was drinking 2 cups a day and went cold turkey once. I had a horrendous headache for 2 weeks.
The next time I quit, I weaned myself down, in a very methodical way, to one cup of tea a day (I was at 3 20 oz cups of dark roast a day). I stayed there. |

RE: Caffeine
I go off caffeine during Advent and Lent. My headaches always stop within 4 days. The severity of the headaches depends on how much caffeine I'd been used to consuming. When I was severely addicted (I had to have 16 oz of strong coffee to relax enough to sleep at night) I had no more withdrawal headaches after day 4, and the craving stopped in two weeks. A cup of coffee still sounded nice, but I no longer felt like I MUST HAVE COFFEE NOW!
Cutting back gradually was less intense, but I never really felt free of the craving until I stopped entirely, and once I knew how long the headaches and the craving would last, I found it easier to withstand them for a shorter time than a less intense withdrawal for a longer time. YMMV. (04-23-2012 04:08 PM)greg Wrote: I've been lying about being a cop, I just lie all the time. |
