Coffee to quit energy drinks. Could be a bit like nicotine gum to quit cigarettes. They might not like it as much

[@twixxtro]

i quit vaping now im addicted to w33d and caffeine i already popped a golden eagle energy drink today and im already craving it again

the problem with w33d is it feels like you're leaving reality because reality is painful

A lesson/key takeaway that we can learn from this video is that less is more, and more is less

[@simondayan2737]

It's crazy what stims do to our nervous system. I fried mine for years I'm here on this video to try and cut down the stimulants and be kinder to my heart.

[@cyndijohnson5473]

Monster addiction- cold turkey tomorrow! I don’t drink them for this, but they definitely suppress my appetite. That isn’t good, I end up not eating very much.

[@mikecodester]

Well, you tell the truth I tried to go back just have one once in a while ended up in full-blown caffeine addiction all over again.

I get those twitches as well, especially in the eye but also occasionally my triceps and rarely the legs. I remember talking to my doctor about it and he just told me it was normal. Having experimented with taking breaks from all kinds of stuff to properly gauge what I was doing to myself, I very quickly realised that the twitches and most of my migraines were caused by the fact that I would churn through 6+ cups of coffee and occasionally a monster during the day. These days I try to stick to 2-3 cups of coffee or a single energy drink in a day as a maximum. I really enjoy my coffee, so I didn't want to stop completely, even though I know that it is affecting my quality of sleep.

[@jessiesratrods1210]

I've effectively cut energy drinks out (was 4 a day minimum) but kept diet mountain dew and am limiting my intake to 4 cans a day. Honestly I'm feeling alot better being a week in.

For 9 months I’ve been drinking 1,000mg of caffeine per day. 5 Celsius drinks but on day 3 of only drinking 200mg. Figured I’d ease off because I think it would be worse for me to go cold turkey. My headaches are out of this world and I feel like garbage but it’ll be worth it! Next week I’m gonna try to go 0mg per day. It’s in my blood to be a substance abuser and I can tell that’s true by the way I abuse these types of things. Time to break the cycle!

[@Alexanderthegreatjones]

hows it going?

you would be dead at 1000mg a day for that long.... impossible!

Been addicted for 10 years and started getting the muscle twitches. Doc said my body was drained of essential minerals from constantly processing the caffeine. I take essential mineral drops every day now too and it has made the twitching subside. I know this is all very unhealthy and I need to quit. Kind of afraid of what unknown feelings I’m escaping by being on stims 24/7 tho...

[@Jayyousay]

I started drinking them at 14 I quit when I was 30 I am now 31 and feel better than I ever felt in my life!

[@xXDannySilvaXx]

Im all screwed up because Ive been drinking about 2 to 3 energy drinks (redbull, monster, pills) for a couple of years. Now Im on my 2nd day without it and Im weak. I camt even get up even if I wanted to because Im so demotivated. I hope this feeling goes away soon. This feels like deppression. I knew when this got bad when I didnt even feel the dopamine, energy anymore and I was completely depleted the next 2 to 3 days after.

[@mosheraviva6894]

Appreciate this video and relate to it so much. I’ve been a caffeine addict for so long and its getting so bad but i can’t stop. Preworkout before the gym, coffee, redbull, rockstar. Those are my most enjoyable drinks too, its hard to quit your favourite thing.

[@64imma]

I gave up energy drinks about 3 months ago, and now just drink coffee or tea if i want caffeine. I will say today that i forgot to make my morning coffee, and i honestly didn't notice any impact on my productivity. I think quitting the energy drinks was definitely a very positive thing. I don't think my current caffeine consumption is a problem. I also just gave up nicotine again. From here on, my main focus is maintaining a nicotine free life, reducing alcohol intake, and trying to curb my daily pornography consumption. Of the 4 main addictions i have had (nicotine, alcohol, caffeine, and porn), porn has been with me for over half my life at this point. It's also been by far the most difficult one to curb.

[@HiNRGboy]

Dude 1 Monster a day for an adult is nothing they only have like 150mg in their drinks....My limit a day is about 300...I try hard not to go over that unless I'm having a bad day I might go close to 400.. One question though....were you getting any like...umm...neck muscle and arm pains??? I'm having a ton of issues with that right now....I drink 200mg-300mg caffeine of energy drinks and/or iced tea a day.. Im having a really tough time with my neck...My X rays indicate inflamed discs....ugh

[@Jose.Roberto.]

Bruh I've been having the same exact symptoms from having had consumed the same amount of caffeine as you, got to admit I feel releived knowing I'm not the only one and most importantly recognizing that the source of the problems are from our caffeine consumption

[@YungKeshi]

Nicotine is the hardest to quit in my opinion and I’m still addicted to it after multiple relapses.. and I’ve quit fentanyl cold turkey too. For some reason the mental withdrawals last way longer than anything for me and I sometimes can’t take it and it eats me alive.

[@antonioarriaga7017]

You know you don’t have to drink the 3 that you get immediately right? You can save one or two that you aren’t going to drink in the fridge at your house for tomorrow so that way you don’t have to buy them again the next day because you got the extra one for free.

I quit caffeine in 2015 and it was just coffee. I was addicted and needed it to get through the day. I had horrible insomnia and my cortisol levels were messed up. In 2020, while on vacation, I had half a cup of coffee in the morning. I was high for like 4 hours then I crashed and took a 3 hour nap. I realized my body can't do caffeine at all. It was a crazy day! 😱

I drank 7 due to stress today. I train very hard and get up early in hopes of gaining muscle best was 37 kg lost it due to relapse cancer scare. I get sick stomach from the drinks. Im scared of food. Cant manage most dinners as i think itll give me cancer and i lost my gains was using the drinks to prevent fainting. I need to moderate.

Going on 20 years probably. Been drinking energy drinks since they have been around plus fat burners, pre workouts etc. I've been seriously wanting to quit for more then 5 years now but the addiction just gets worse. Quitting alcohol was far easier. There is literally no benefit to me drinking so much caffeine. I can have a Redline first thing in the morning and it barely wakes me up, but there are so many negative effects. My sleep has suffered for years, I had chronic headaches, my skin is dry to name a few. Pushing through the withdrawals and exhaustion is so hard when you work full time, especially being a physical job.
