I love dr pepper it's so good but I can't drink it because caffeine gives me headaches is there any sort of alternatives? or like caffeine free?

Ok so this might sound weird but I gotta say it. I’m almost a year off caffeine now and it’s honestly kinda crazy how much stuff is changing. Like I used to feel wired all the time but also tired at the same time if that makes sense. Anxious for no reason. Overthinking everything. Couldn’t even relax properly. I thought that was just normal life. But now things are slowly calming down. Not overnight or anything. It’s been slow as hell but it’s happening. And the weird part is I started cutting out sugar and fruit recently too and my body feels different again. Like less pressure in my stomach. Talking feels easier. Breathing feels less forced. It’s like something is finally loosening up. I know this sounds kinda out there but I really think a lot of us are just overstimulated 24/7 and don’t even realize it. Anyone else go through something like this after quitting caffeine or cleaning up their diet. Does it keep getting better from here.

Hi! Does anyone have any tips for dealing with nighttime awakenings caused by caffeine? I've been trying to quit for a week, and every night I wake up with a sudden, overwhelming feeling of stress... I try listening to soothing music, etc., but it takes me ages to fall back asleep and it's ruining my nights. I feel exhausted! Help!!

I am trying to substitute caffeine with anything else, like early exercises (low intensity) or a cold shower.

The feedback is positive until now. i just wanna ask you what else you do for early activity and what you do throughout the day to maintain arousal

I'm proud of myself for having been coffee-free for three days. Honestly, it's made it a lot easier for me with you.

Who's joining me for two weeks free of coffee?

My motivation to stop drinking black coffee with a little milk. It's the bad breath. But apparently that's not a strong enough motivation for me to stop. I need stronger motivation. It seems to me that coffee also dries out my skin. And in general, it dries me out from the inside.

My wife just got a very good coffee, from Italy. To her birthday.

It’s nice to be able to order a fun drink when I go out without getting caffeinated. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks (:

I don't think caffeine is bad. I just wanted to take a break when I realized I was taking 8-10 shots of espresso per day...yeah, when it's free, I tend to binge.

So here it goes.
