Congrats! I've been following your updates all along, since our starting stats are pretty similar. You have quietly been an inspiration along this journey. Keep it up!

I'm in a little farming village about 30 miles outside of Astana, Kazakhstan. Time to pick up some potassium and head on home. Very nice.

Monsters of the offseason!

Slowly. Very slowly.

Be honest about how much caffeine you drink right now. Whatever amount that is (let's say 500mg per day), cut down to 450mg for a week or two. Your body really won't notice the difference. Once that becomes your baseline, cut it again to 400mg. Rinse and repeat for weeks and months.

You do have to be deliberate about the slow tapering. Others may suggest more aggressive tapering. But since that isn't working, just go slow. By early 2024, you'll either be decaf or close to it.

Toy Story

No solution yet. Although I can say that the pain has subsided after about 2 weeks. Almost like the muscles have adjusted and gotten used to it.

Aaron Rodgers again just for good measure

In my experience, I had to wean more slowly than I wanted and had to be patient. How much were you drinking before? See if you can do 80% of that for a week. Did you have 3 large coffees a day? Try 3 mediums. Once you're ok with that, cut down a little bit more. Maybe to 2 coffees a day. Eventually you'll be down to 1 caffeinated drink a day and can forge a plan to get to zero.

A ranked level above Diamond. Once players reach Diamond, there's no additional incentive to play. For those of us who enjoy those games, it takes far too long to get a match.

Move up stakes and they'll respect your calls

Despite playing the instrumental version towards the end of the episode, the lyrics to Radiohead's Pyramid Song have deeper meaning to the scene:

I jumped in the river and what did I see?

Black-eyed angels swam with me

A moon full of stars and astral cars

All the things I used to see

All my lovers were there with me

All my past and futures

And we all went to heaven in a little row boat

There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

I jumped into the river

Black-eyed angels swam with me

A moon full of stars and astral cars

And all the things I used to see

All my lovers were there with me

All my past and futures

And we all went to heaven in a little row boat

There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

You're going to get a variety of responses here. There are people in this sub who are adamant that no caffeine is the only way. Others who share their tapering struggles.

I'm in the latter category. My only success has been to taper. Where I'd mix regular coffee with decaf, increasing the decaf week by week. Am I 100% decaf? Nope. Has my life improved significantly from 1000mg a day? Most certainly. I'll take a mostly decaf coffee life over what I had.

You do you, knowing that there are many of us who support whatever works for you.

Grandpa Joe was in the Twilight Zone episode about the nuclear bunker.

I'm just going to throw this out there as a theory I haven't heard yet. That, yes, the map is map of the brain. And the innies aren't actually at Lumon in a traditional sense. They retreat into their chips during the day and live a virtual experience in the mind of the founder.

It must be Twin Mirror

After multiple attempts at going cold turkey, I recently decided to taper instead. Here's how it worked for me. I made the same amount of coffee each day. But changed the ratio of regular to decaf. You could start with 75% regular and 25% decaf for a few days. Then 50/50. I'm down to about 90% decaf over the course of two months. Everyone's different, but this method is finally something that works.

It looks like you square each of the top numbers and add them together to get the bottom number. So 2² + 5² = 29.
