When I was heavy on caffeine the headaches were monstrous migraine affairs. <br /><br />If I kept busy I would forget about the cravings. The agitation and headaches just haven't been an issue for a while.pydannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00481523876497446983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4477131926658044957.post-86437583752969963452009-05-11T05:25:00.000-07:002009-05-11T05:25:00.000-07:00"I knew I had to drink it every 12 hours to avoid ..."I knew I had to drink it every 12 hours to avoid withdrawal": what kind of withdrawal effects were you seeing? I also drink coffee regularly. But I believe there have been days where I didn't drink any without noticeable effects. So am I missing (or not...) something? :-)<br /><br />Congrats on beating the habit, btw.Reinout van Reeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10812368968013493815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4477131926658044957.post-50322154084443706782009-05-11T04:33:00.000-07:002009-05-11T04:33:00.000-07:00I'm such a trend-setter ;) But good on ya!I'm such a trend-setter ;) But good on ya!kcunninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04641419717110221695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4477131926658044957.post-57817467805361469542009-05-11T04:03:00.000-07:002009-05-11T04:03:00.000-07:00Congrats!

I recommend it to anyone curious about getting the monkey off your back, you can live without it! Same with smoking. Although unlike smoking, the diet eventually allowed me to consume caffeine again ;-) Fortunately, the health risks when used in moderation are low…Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
