Powering through caffiene addiction

[KillerMuffin]

Everytime I go visit my mother in law I get friggin addicted to caffiene. Well, it's either coffee, coke, tea, or nasty tap water at her house. I bring my own drinks, but the StudMuffin-with-lumps-on-his-head thinks he's dying of thirst all the time and drinks my stuff. AAAAAAHHHHH!

So I didn't kick the caffiene from the previous visit and now I'm two days into a caffiene headache. I see no reason why I should waste those two days of excruciating headache agony by wimping out now.

The side effects to caffiene headaches, along with every other kind, is extreme grumpiness. So, I'm grumpy.

It's not funny, dammit.

Hmmm have been where you are and do not intend on ever going back. It sucks. And so I must now go back for a third cup of high octane coffee, lest the mid-morning caffiene detox side track me further!

 

[JerseyBoy]

I just never bother quitting caffiene...but yeah, whenever I dont have it for a day or so...ouch!

a third cup? Don't mind if I do...

Good morning KM
I am sorry to hear about your caffiene withdrawls, I've been there.
There's a wonderful book that helped me out...

The Detox Diet--The How-To & When-To Guide For Cleansing The Body Of:
Sugar
Nicotine
Alcohol
Caffeine
Chemicals
and More

Written by Elson M. Haas, M.D.

In short, the author tells how bad caffeine is for your body (given that you are kicking the habit, I'm sure you already know ) and what kind of vitamins, herbs, and minerals you can use to bolster your progress.

Give in, baby. Take the pod.....

Why fight the urge?

I once went away on a retreat for a week and was sorely pissed off when I found out there was only decaffinated tea to be had. I spent the first 4 days with a massive headache and a chip on my shoulder.

Decaff is a ploy of the Devil's to destroy your taste buds!

 

[KillerMuffin]

Yeah, Mr. Stud I-like-to-see-you-suffer-because-it-amuses-me Muffin has informed me that we have three cans of Mountain Dew in a cooler.

I'm a strong willed tootsie pop.

 

[lovetoread]

I gots some Dew.

And some code red Dew.

And a blue pepsi if you want some.

KM, I have one of those right now.
