No caffeine for a week

So I have recently come to the conclusion that I am addicted to caffeine. That doesn't sit well with me. If I even go a day without it I get a headache, a really bad one too. I am not comfortable with the fact that something can have this much control over me so I am going a week without caffeine just to prove to myself that I, in fact, can live without it. I also decided I am doing it without the help of any medicine to calm the headaches, after all I have never really been a fan of pills either.

This will show me just how strong of a will I actually have. It will be hard because I am a chronic monster drinker. I have one a day usually, and then a soda or two as well.

I will let you know how it goes next Monday.

Wish me luck!

Good luck! Just remember that your first 3 days are the hardest. When that 4th day comes it will be a breeze.
And if the headache gets too bad, have a small cup of green tea, it will help

Decaffeinated tea is good in that it is a warm comforting taste and feeling without the bad stuff.. I'm so glad you are doing this. One of these days you will stop and think hey! I'm not craving anything. Start drinking lots more good old water. It flushes everything and keeps you feeling balanced. You will do it because you want to!
