Day two cold turkey of a thirty year habit

Because my brain is like it's on speed all the time , caffeine does nothing for me, in that way. Can even drink coffee before bed and sleep fine. My brain never lets me fall asleep in the day, I've got no chance.😂

45 sec intro, sorry disliked cuz of it

On the same journey at 64. So I feel ya. Good luck man

Pretty crap But keep going

to be honest i think caffeine ages people by years. literally kills their skin. biggest thing is it affects your consciousness cause you're basically drugged out in the moment. people high on caffeine cant even hold a gaze. their bodies are literally vibrating for no reason. Imagine the poor heart. coffee is the reason some cultures are very aggressive like arabs and Italians. once i had so much caffeine i wanted to punch things. difficult thing to quit through. we're surrounded by this shit everywhere. also the reason why most men are bald. also its the second most traded commodity in the world after oil so they really want you to keep drinking it. Billions of dollars at stake ! shit substance.

You're awesome - thanks for watching. Love to know where you are at in your journey.

the author of caffeine blues drinks one cup a day still

I’ve discovered that all coffee is not created equal. Switched to an Organic mycotoxin free lab tested one and a completely different experience. I have a hard rule of no coffee for the first hour and after a walk, then none after midday. No anxiety, no crash and no sleep disturbances.

I like your content. I quit booze a year ago, and then I decided to quit caffeine more recently. I used a similar technique to you, except that I used NoDoz pills and a pill splitter to gradually phase down without getting headaches. However, once I got to zero, I found that I was dregged out and couldn't really see any benefits, so I went back to drinking it after a week or so. I think I need to psychologically prepare myself so I'm more committed to quitting, like I did with booze. I have found hypnotherapy type books to be very effective for quitting drugs such as Alan Carr's Easy Way to Quit Smoking, and another guy called Stop Drinking Expert. I have found an equivalent thing for coffee on Audible, so maybe I'll give it a go.

Interesting coincidence. I cut my coffee intake in half this morning. From 14 ounces of strong coffee to 7-8 of strong coffee. I'll still have a cup to jump-start me before playing tennis or hockey or squash. We'll see how it goes.

decaf also has caffeine. so after 1 year without normal coffee youre still getting high from 8mg per cup - youre just much more sensitive now.

Best thing i ever did. Felt like death for five days (went cold turkey), and then energy levels skyrocketed. Became a morning person. Literally a life changer, so much more productive in every aspect of my life now. Been that way for three years, since i got 'clean'

As someone who is drinking 1000mg of caffeine and day and always tired , I am starting the journey of no caffeine, I'm down to around 300mg/day this week. It's been difficult but this is encouraging to hear. Thanks for the video

Great video :-) what sort of affiliate marketing did you do?

Quinn 👋 what is the brand of decaf coffee you use please? Where can I buy it at a decent price? Thank you.

I heard coffee drinkers live longer

I’m at my whits end I’m getting constant headaches, I can’t sleep my work performance and attendance is dropping due to lack of sleep and my anxiety is through the roof, I drink a lot of caffeine, 1 energy drink a day, a can of coke and 2 coffees so I think I’m gunna try quitting caffeine will be hard as I’m not a big eater but I love hot and fizzy drinks

I quit caffeine about 3 weeks ago. Strangely I’ve started to feel genuine happiness that I haven’t felt in years. This happened the last time I quit caffeine too. It must have been doing something to my brain or something

If I'm at work I have no food until lunchtime then drink a protein shake. No breakfast. I'm able to go to the gym at lunch and play a tough hour match of squash. I don't feel sluggish at all. Usually sluggish if I eat lots. It's the easiest way to give my stomach a rest as I'm busy at work and not thinking about food. Been watching videos on fasting and going to attempt a 3 day water fast. I'm 48. I did a 24 dry fast once or twice when younger just to increase willpower. This time I want to see how it benefits my skin and overall mainly. Encouraged by your mindset and goal to feel full of vitality like when we were young. 👍

7:17 ahahah caffeine is a hell of a drug

Nice one

I didn't have vitality as a child so when I discovered caffeine as a teenager it made me feel super powerful. Many lost years later. I am struggling to give up my one to two cups per day

Sorry last comment… I feel that we all drink caffeine or alcohol because at the root our lives are shit. We all do things we don’t want to do. Caffeine and alcohol give us a relief from how shit our lives are. If we all lived lives we love and are excited about - there wouldn’t be any need for drugs!

It’s funny you say about speed too… caffeine is literally a narcotic. It’s just in legal liquid form. And here I am slamming caffeine but I’m still on it! It’s the hardest drug I’ve ever had to quit.

And yeah when we’re kids we just lived life not needing any drugs. I didn’t even know what drugs were! Why do we have to do drugs when we’re older just to get through the day?!

The only liquid we need is water. Anything else is bullshit. Caffeine stops you sleeping, and anything that stops you sleeping is not a good idea.

good info

I am around the same age Quinn. I quit all caffeine about 6 weeks ago and feeling better and sleeping better. I also quit alcohol about 1 year ago and never going back.

Decaf can have certain chemicals in it. Drink water!

To become a kid again is the goal ! These substandes destroy us

So well said. It took me about a month to remove caffeine and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made to get back to that childhood energy you talk about. Less anxiety, better sleep, living more how I’m meant to live.

I had a crazy panic attack from caffine and quit it cold Turkey about 5 months ago. You definitely don't need it.

What is the decaf brand you like?

I was having exactly those thoughts how caffeine will be looked at like any other illegal drug these days, back in early 2000s. Still drinking coffee though, one in the morning, one at about lunch time, rather before 12pm than after. I think I am addicted but I don't have it as bad as you. And I definitely don't need to 'quit alcohol' as I almost don't drink any. We had alcoholism in my family but luckily I wasn't affected by it. I prefer to be sober.

Great video Quinn. Something to consider for everyone is avoiding decaff coffee too. Reasons I know of: It dehydrates the colon and body, dilutes stomach acid which effects digestion for the whole day, elevates heart rate to the same level as caffeinated coffee. Regarding being addicted to coffee taste. Our food cravings are not our own, they're the bacteria in our gut, that manipulate us into feeding them. Once we stop consuming a certain thing, the get bacteria that lives of it is starved off and perishes, with it the associated cravings. You're right it is nice to have a ritual; it can eventually be replaced by anything that works for the individual. Some it's a herbal tea, some it's warm lemon and ginger water, some it's turmeric soy milk, I keep seeing mushroom blends being advertised as a coffee ritual alternative. It doesn't have to be a liquid, can be something like sucking on a date. Going for a walk with heightens awareness of surroundings, a 5 min breathing meditation, etc.

That’s terrific! Look up Dr. Ardis about nicotine. Mind blowing!

I thought you can never remove all caffeine from coffee, a residue will always stay. I might be wrong but if I'm not, no wonder you enjoy a decaf lol

Hits hard Quinn...

I quit caffeinated coffee and moved to decaf…maintain ritual remove jitters and anxiety 🙌🏼

I’m thinking ok stopping. I drink a 600m bottle of Pepsi or Coke a day

Caffeine makes me tired (after the crash)

For me the pro is sleep. Never realised how much it affects your sleep until you stop. The other benefit is I now drink more spring water to compensate for not having tea and coffee.

Is doing decaf ok so I can still have coffee

The author of that book still drinks 1 cup of coffee per day

The sweet spot for me is twice a week. Keeps me non dependent and low tolerance. Its truly a safe performance enhancing drug when used this way

Great info, nice job. Gonna give this a go!

One cup of coffee doesn't kill you. But who drinks 3 or 4?

definitely taper off. cold turkey is a terrible idea.

Try roasted dandelion tea! If you love black coffee have a go
