Default Quitting Coffee

I quit coffee and tea permanently on 6th January 2006 ... around 16 months ago.

I also quit chocolate some months ago also and it is the best, and the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. I didn't really feel like I had conquered caffeine until about 2 months without it - the physical withdrawal was severe and I missed it for about 2 months but now I don't miss it at all.

I would never go back to it again.

The benefits are enormous:

Clearer thinking
Getting up in the morning feeling fully rested - even with around 6-7 hours sleep
No energy lows AT ALL throughout the day
Less acidity in my body so a much better and level mood
Much much more

Quit caffeine - do it and stop mentally avoiding it. It will absolutely not be easy but it is really worth it. The first 1½ weeks are the worst and it gets easier every day from there. I do not think about it at all now.
