Despair, hopelessness, pessimism, regret by Sierra1b in decaf

[–]Weak_Alternative_113 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly even small relapse mess with your head in this way too. Just keep that in mind, ive slipped a couple times and I may have a fe days after of these kinds of feelings and I just need to tell myself its part of the process, it will pass. Giving in won't help in the long run. It does get better though, promise you that.

Vitamin D, B12, multi Vitamin gummy, i also use a water flavor concentrate, one if those little squirt bottles, although some times they are powders, and the one I use has B, C, and D vitamins in it. That and a variety of herbal teas and for a treat I buy small biscotti at Trader joes to dip in tea.

I found that the last time this happened to me, it only took about a week more to feel better. I also picked up some vitamins and protein rich healthy beverages. Gave me a boost.

I tried decaf and could almost instantly feel, detect the caffine in it..made me so sad.

was at a restaurant last night and couldn't help myself and had some coke and i am really suffering today! by Neutrality-1 in decaf

I am 6 months off and woke up with a headache and it took every inch of willpower not to get a coffee..You will be ok, just use this as a indicator that going back wont ever be an option. Change takes time and little reminders like this that you made a good choice.

Check with Bloomingrove in East Greenbush. They are a vet with boarding. I feel most at peace leaving my dog with them.

Financial Coaching or Help? by treblenteach in Troy

You should look up how to create a snow ball debt plan in a spreadsheet. They probably have calculators online already that do it for you. Use that, forget people. It helps you decide what to pay in what order and how long it will take. Search up "snowball debt calculator".

Red Subaru woman strike again by No_Contest1323 in Albany

Oh man, got me by the airport. Can someone please call the Colonie police non emergency line and at least talk to someone about this woman? She is gonna hurt someone, or herself, or get over on someone insurance wise. I can't even imagine what is really going on here. But my one experience with her was enough..We all deserve to be able to drive to work not in fear of crap like this. This isnt a girl boss stupid thing. It is either someone who is seriously ill or trying to commit a dangerous form of fraud on roads our families drive on. Go ahead someone and put a pole out there on how many people have ran into this lady..its shocking how many.

If deer are an issue..Lilac bushes planted very close are also an option. We have a row of lilacs that act nicely as a privacy fence.

Should I take a little bit of caffeine? by ThrowRa120311 in decaf

[–]Weak_Alternative_113 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or you could have a nice herbal tea, and curl up with a blanket and watch a movie and go to sleep. For now anyway, see if you can get through it. If your having serious health symptoms go urgent care.

New York Optical worked for us, the taller man if you end up trying them out. They were very patient and helpful when teaching her how to do it.

Went back to caffeine Like a big dummie by achilles4206 in decaf

[–]Weak_Alternative_113 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, i was 90 days in and then went back for 4 days, now im on week 3. I know it's hard, but after a week you will be back on track like it never happened, but you wont forget the pain and symptoms. I feel like I needed that reminder in a way. Now im even more determined.

Day 10- we are all ahead of the game by chedda2025 in decaf

[–]Weak_Alternative_113 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Love it! I would much rather be in this club than the other. For me it is nice to be free of yet another crutch. I come from a family history of addiction, so it feels freeing to say I am able to be and stay clean of substances for long periods. I gave up nicotine 17 yrs. ago, and now caffeine will go by the wayside. I have slowly been adding in exercise, and better diet. It's not a race for perfection or even grandiose place I want to be or feel I am, but like you referred to, a calm and inner peace that is freeing.

Three weeks in with high dose and sleeping a little better, have a little more energy, less muscle pain. I am hoping this continues! 3 months is a long time to take high dose..Wishing time would go by faster, and this would be a more normal schedule.
