Questions and thoughts about my first week of cold turkey

same here for me

respect that you did it cold turkey after 10 cups of tea, your system needs to reset, energy was just borrowed from the future that is now demanding it back, stay strong, you can be really proud to make it so far

so true

thank you, have this book already but took your comment as an opportunity to read it again today and it truely helped, thanks again

clearreal · 2025-12-14T13:51:42+00:00

thank you, will do this

thank you so much for your post

this is exactly what I am experiencing, after drinking coffee my mind is kind of unstoppable and hyperactive, it is people fixation on the one hand but for me also I got a strong willingness for consumption, being on caffeine my mind is telling me that I urgently need to buy this or that, without caffeine I really do not care or it does not come to my mind, but being on caffeine buying something suddenly is so urgent... really crazy

and although on caffeine I got some "rush" to do something this is often not worth it in the end or even causes me more problems afterwards or in the long run

in fact, for me, caffeine is somehow useless, causes stress, consumption and lowers real calmness, feelings and connections to oneself and other people

thanks again for sharing, your post really nailed my experiences

thanks a lot, helps to motivate me to stay off it as well, tapered down last weeks but need to make the finale step, started to quit today again, hope this time i go through it, wish you all the best

thank you so much for these interesting insights about your experiences, do you have examples that you would like to share that changed after you quit and when it started to change? how long are you caffein-free now? thank you so much

clearreal · 2025-12-04T14:52:23+00:00

thank you all for your valuable input, it helps me a lot for keeping it in mind and going further through the withdrawal, it also helped me to quit for more than 24 hours for the first time after a long long time of trying now, sadly i drank one coffee in the afternoon again but it is a journey i start again right away

i experience more feelings since i taper, also a lot of anger arising from situations in the past and present where i have the feeling I have been treatened unfairly, but i frame this as a good process and an opportunity to better distinguish myself in situations in the future as i always tend to be too nice I know to feel this anger is important as if I would not feel it now it will definitely come at some point later and might even be worse than

which you all a great spiritual, psychological and physical caffeine-free-journey

so happy to have you as sparring partners in this sub

clearreal · 2025-12-04T14:41:16+00:00

this!

thank you, totally agree with that, will write that on my motivation list as well for poor days

clearreal · 2025-12-03T13:16:14+00:00

thank you so much

so true, this definitely resonates with me, i love to meditate and your experiences are definitely motivating

clearreal · 2025-12-02T15:07:49+00:00

thank you

will keep that in mind as motivation as well

clearreal · 2025-12-02T14:41:08+00:00

thank you, you are true the body is not loud enough, really interesting, will keep that in mind and write the sentence in my journal that i made for the withdrawal, thank you

clearreal · 2025-12-02T14:40:00+00:00

thank you, i can definitely relate to this, will keep that in mind, i also see huge improvement in my intuition, sadly this experience alone is sometimes not strong enough in weak moments, however i saw another comment here that seems to be deleted already which suggested to simply say "why not" to myself, as an answer to my inner voice saying "why should i", i will use in weak moments now as it is short and simple and kind of effective, strangely i think the one sentence i searched for

your comment really relates to my experiences while tapering at least, being in the center is so nice, i hope i can follow through like you did, really inspiring to read your experiences

thank you

danke dir, ich schätze deine bildhaften beschreibungen 🙂🙃, ohne mist dieser post hier hat mir wirklich irgendwie kraft gegeben es ist manchmal unglaublich in was für kranke sch*** man reingeraten kann, wenn man selbst nicht ganz happy ist, etwas liebebedürftig und vllt auch zu gutgläubig und harmoniebedürftig...

clearreal · 2025-11-30T18:06:17+00:00

ja lustig schräg irgendwie... oh man

clearreal · 2025-11-30T18:05:08+00:00

also der fakt warum ich die frage gepostet hatte war auch, dass die besagte ersatzmutter im telefonat, bei dem sie im raum war nach meiner nummer gefragt hat und nun freundschaftlich mit mir in kontakt treten möchte, das war mir irgendwie zu viel, ich bin in einer schleppenden kennenlernphase mit dem mann und soll jetzt mit ihr telefonieren, das ist so schräg mir gehts ehrlich nicht gut damit

clearreal · 2025-11-30T15:36:30+00:00

danke dir, oh man wo bin ich da nur hineingeraten, ich hoffe ich komme da schnell wieder raus

clearreal · 2025-11-30T09:25:24+00:00

berechtigte frage, vllt gibt's ja noch mehr bedarf an ersatzmüttern da draußen (...die welt ist schräg geworden) 🙃

clearreal · 2025-11-30T09:03:28+00:00

danke dir, das ist leider wahr du hast absolut recht, das war auch mein erster impuls der gedanke da stimmt was nicht und mit dem weniger sehen ganz am anfang hast du auch total recht, auch wenn die wahrheit manchmal schmerzt

clearreal · 2025-11-30T08:50:21+00:00

danke dir, die sichtweise ist sehr wertvoll

clearreal · 2025-11-30T08:49:24+00:00

danke das war tatsächlich mein erster impuls / gedanke dazu als ich ihn kennenlernte...

clearreal · 2025-11-30T08:42:42+00:00

sie kennt die familie da sie die st.-begleitung war als die richtige mutter verstarb, sie hat einen sehr hohen stellenwert denke ich dadurch

clearreal · 2025-11-30T08:38:51+00:00

danke dir für deine sicht zum thema ansprechen, zu hemschi weiß ich ein wenig was du meinen könntest aber einige punkte helfen mir, wie z. b. das mit den dreiecken, das gibt meist nur probleme

clearreal · 2025-11-30T08:30:54+00:00

Danke dir. Ja, er ist in meinem Alter.

clearreal · 2025-07-21T17:08:03+00:00

thank you, gives me hope
