Caffeine Def
9 years ago
so.. im addicted to pop (soda) and sugar.. and trust me.. i drink an unhealthy amount, and have been doing so nonstop since i was a kid.. but now that i am older, and a specific conversation kept ringing in my head with my friend Wolfy.
i decided to cut off soda pop.. and i didn't realize that i was experiencing both caffeine and Sugar withdrawals, everyday i have been having increasing headaches and today i feel like i have reached my peak.. or not.. who knows..
im having a bad time.
it took me looking up my symptoms to realize i was going into withdrawal,
and i read up more on it, and i realized that wat im feeling is but the tip of the iceberg.. im genuinely scared. the list here http://www.caffeineinformer.com/caf.....mptoms-top-ten
1-5 i have and i might just be going into the rest. . .
i dont know what im going to do.
i have been trying to keep myself busy with artwork and speed paint, but its becoming a bit much = A=

Well the best thing you can do is dump out every drop you have and surround yourself with friends who will put you in a straight jacket

I can somewhat relate. I've been drinking sodas since I was a kid. But within the last year I've switched to just diet sodas. I can do without the sugar just fine, it's just the caffeine that I need to get through the day.

My suggestion, don't quit cold turkey. Like any drug that method is hard to follow. Luckily there are lighter caffeine options. Have some tea instead of soda, replace all other drinks with water. Ease the tea out over time..

I remember when I quite caffeine cold turkey I blacked out for a week. My recommendation is to gradually ween your self off. For example, if you have two 20 oz bottles of soda a day move down to one for a while then one can then none. Doing that will make the withdrawal symptoms a lot more manageable.
