I’m zinging out drinking caffeine. I really need to quit. It feels worse than nicotine almost.

I’ve tried the following routine for almost a full week now: 110 mg of coffee in one double shot espresso for each of the first 4 days. Then, no caffeine for 3 days.
From what I’ve read, it may take about 12 to 24 hours for caffeine withdrawal to start, and then withdrawal may last 2 to ten days.
So, hopefully, by taking 3 days off of caffeine, I’m giving my body a chance to recover and repair itself before the next cycle.
I hope it works.
I feel like I’ve been extra caffeine sensitive over the past few days for some reason, but there’s been no change in meds nor diet

“down the road, it’s going to lead to aging, damaged skin, brain fog, severe focus and concentration problems, fatigue, hair loss, and weight gain”
After reading about possible side effects like that, I decided to try to motivate myself to work on one of my projects without caffeine today.
I’m doing pretty well, so far.
That tells me that maybe I just needed the caffeine to help to motivate me to start the project, and now that I’ve got some momentum going, I may be able to work on the project for a while without the caffeine.
For most of my life, coffee has been an occasional thing. Maybe that shouldn’t change.
Well, 2 days after my last coffee, I tried to do a bunch of tedious work again.
Instead of my mind diving in and getting the work done as if it was an emergency, after a while, my mind started thinking: Wow. This is tedious and time consuming. Shouldn’t I search for a faster way, instead?
I guess I’m going back to the 4 days on coffee, 3 days off coffee schedule next week. It may damage my health a little over time, but I think that some tedious work must be done, and I don’t seem to have reasonable extrinsic motivation for this work.
I used to drink coffee in the morning - used to give me anxiety and a slight euphoric feeling
Since taking AP meds, I can drink as much coffee as I like and I will not feel anything at all - no anxiety, no buzz - nothing!

There’s always articles showing good of coffee and bad of coffee. I love coffee so I’ll just go with the good articles. Plus I’m already experiencing most of those negative side effects from sz and meds lol. #pickyourpoison

I’ve been re-watching the The Fast and Furious 1 first race scene.
I think a lot of people use caffeine and other stimulants like the green car used nitrous oxide. They use it all the time to the point of tearing up their system. I think I would rather use caffeine like the winning car uses nitrous oxide: As a temporary boost when it counts to get the job done.
It is a visualization that I hope helps.

Maybe a good idea, caffeine is still a drug although a convenient one.
