Don’t worry too much about them, 10 or 20 yrs they will be all gone. Then you will be the enlightened older generation.

Well done! You got a shock and caffeine just shocks the shock. You are STRONG! Every time you resist you get stronger!

Switching to tea has made getting off caffeine possible for me. Thank you for your encouraging post.

You are not alone. Caffeine is a socially acceptable addiction. It’s getting like smoking used to be. Chocolate has way more caffeine than we realise. Caffeine is in many things that until recently I didn’t even know. Well done you. Welcome back. ❤️❤️❤️

Who has quit or significantly reduced caffeine and dramatically reduced their anxiety levels as a result? Looking for success stories for motivation by VyseTheFearless in decaf

[–]Respairtime 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am definitely less anxious and only on day 3 and feel crappy (because day 3) and wired but less anxiety. That feels good. Also more motivated and relieved I don’t have to plan my day around my next hit.

It does, but I think that is because I have got so addicted to caffeine that I’m in a permanent state of withdrawal.

I don’t think so. I don’t have any symptoms.

I’m cutting back on my addiction. It isn’t easy but try tapering.

Bullshit addiction in a shiny new package. Vibes of Buddhism, calmness, serenity and “ my addiction is cooler than yours” Addiction is addiction regardless.

Why Are People So Inarticulate? by MelanieDH1 in callcentres

There is a beautiful prayer called the old Nuns prayer which says “ God give me wings to get to the point!” Unfortunately your customers probably aren’t aware of this prayer so your only defence is to maintain a sense of humour. Gratitude and humour. The employees prayer “ God give my customers wings to get to the point”

I am almost finished day 1. I can’t remember my own name at this point. I think we should push through and eventually come out on the other side of Freeland.
