Caffeine addiction. You'll know the feeling when you become an adult

Only one? I need at least three a day if I don't drink coffee, I can only get by on one can if I have a constant supply of coffee throughout the day. Coffee alone isn't good enough.

Worked my way up to 8-10 a day and then quit and I was sick for two weeks

If you are unironically using units like oz (wtf??) you have bigger problems than caffeine addiction.
Btw have been drinking half a CUBIC DECIMETRE of energy drink per day for the past three years. No problems so far

What the fuck guys. I got scared when I started drinking 3 cups of coffee a day. You're gonna die at 30 if those habits are prolonged at all

>>42167153
That's a little bit intense

>>42167182
Yeah, but I stopped and all is well now and didn't use caffeine for quite some time

Just started a cut a week ago, so I've been drinking about 200mg caffein worth before dinner

I'm not worried. It sucks that I need to drink so much but at least I don't have an alcoholic drinking problem. There are no physical side-effects like flushing or heart palpitations or anything like that, my blood pressure is normal, etc.

I got into the habit by working in retail pulling clopens three times a week and just never stopped after getting a job where I'm a human being and not cattle. It's not like I'll die if I withdraw, it just sucks shit and I'd like to avoid it, and I'm not dying by staying on the devil juice either.

How did you quit? Cold turkey, or by slowing pulling yourself off?

>slowly ween myself down to just a cup of black coffee when I wake up and MAYBE some tea in the afternoon if I'm tired

Kinda sucks tbqh, I was constantly EXHAUSTED and had headaches while trying to cut back. I can't even imagine dropping my last bit of coffee per day, but it's fucked with my sleep and peace of mind for so long, i wonder if I have to.

>crippling anxiety from caffeine abuse
I thought this was my problem anon with the three cans a day

Then I stopped drinking liquor so heavily on the weekend while maintaining the monster habit and the anxiety went away. I would basically get blitzed Thurs/Friday/Sat nights usually.

Do you do anything else besides caffeine?

>>42167220
Cold turkey

>>42167290

Yeah, I drank a lot according to my doctor. About 3-4 drinks a night, every night, for about 3 years.

Usually like half a bottle of wine, or 3-4 beers, or a couple rums. She said I needed to cut back. I have, I drink maybe 1-2 drinks 3-4x a week now, instead of at least 3 every night.

I also remember my anxiety showed up a few weeks after I rolled MDMA for the first (and last) time.

If you drink every night you're constantly rebounding from the effects of alcohol, which generally fixes anxiety. So the rebound effect is increased apparent anxiety.

I still drink a bit but whenever I go hard and get anxiety the next couple days I know what's up whereas before I didn't know why and it was utterly terrifying, which made it worse.

That makes sense. I hadn't considered my drinking as a factor in my anxiety. But I have noticed my anxiety has gotten better in general since I started drinking less, sleeping more and consuming less caffeine.

Would it benefit me if I started drinking one of these before every workout

Going cold turkey after being dependent on caffeine is known to cause flu-like symptoms and headaches similar to migraines. Been there, done that, try to slowly wean off it would be my advice.

Never gonna make it
