Ask Lemmy

I've quit everything besides coffee. Once went three months without it, and it definitely wasn't worth quitting for me.

I don't think I could make it through the day without oxygen.

I have, in fact, been told I am a man of very little substance.

I drink tea, but not like a "coffee drinker" drinks coffee, nor how the average American drinks soda.

The caffeine doesn't feel noticeable to me, but I am still mindful of drinking it right before bed.

I just like my oolong sessions.

Why go caffeine free?

I sadly figure the oil companies will make us all go caffeine free in the medium to long term, so may as well enjoy it now before it becomes a luxury of the wealthy.

The nukes are about to fly bro, just enjoy life.

One thing that helped me quit coffee was drinking tea. I know it's still got caffeine, but if you're drinking 4 or 5 cups a day that brings the amount of caffeine waaaay down.

Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, marijuana, ecstasy, and alcohol. Co-co-co-co-co-cocaine.

Definitely not 100%

Clean all my life but I've been thinking

Alcohol, cannabis, and methamphetamine free since '95. Nicotine free since '03. Caffeine free since '15.

Now if I could kick sugar.

As a corporate dev, I'll keep my weed and caffeine thanks

I am 100% free. Not even alcool or coffee bro. I used to drink a lot of energy drinks and coffee but they almost killed me so I stopped and removed everything containing relevant amounts of caffeine (including coke) and similar thing such as non decaffeinated tea

nicotine free since 2016, cocaine free since 2019. But I'll keep my coffee.

Lately I've been mostly avoiding caffeine, but probably for a different reason than OP.
My goal is to get to the point where if I need to stay alert, caffeine would have a significant effect. So far I believe I'm not there yet, if I ever will be. (Might be genetic)

I don't like the taste or smell of alcohol, so that's just never been a thing for me.

Never smoked or vaped anything. Can't understand why people start smoking nicotine, when it seems so obviously terrible.

Excluding tea: My ADHD meds (aka methamphetamines)
Including tea: That and ADHD meds.

Sober 6 months. It’s better

I don't take anything (other than supplements, meds), still I could be eating healthier.

Just drink less coffee and alcohol then?

"I don't want another drink, I don't want another bump I'm afraid of falling down if I get much further up I don't want another hit, I don't want another shot Don't you make another line that I do not wanna cross

My friends, their friends, their friends' friends Are trying to kill me, really Everybody that I know Is trying to kill me, really"

honestly i go through cycles

You can try barley/chicory coffee for the habit.

i drink a cup of coffee about 4 to 5 days a week. Don't smoke or drink and never have.

I'd like to try LSD one day.

I never had any not because I wouldn't but because it's ridiculously expensive to me.

Never smoked either.

I drink on occasions only.

I'm as vapid as can be

or flash and no substance.

I am. I grew up around drug and alcohol addiction. Tried it. Hated it. Decided none of this was for me. Drugs is easy. Everybody in my house usually scampers away like roaches to do drugs. Alcohol is very much a family thing. Can't watch a game without someone screaming shots or drink. I usually end up hiding in my room.

Coffee makes me nauseous and I'm not trying to feel like I need to shit before I got something to do. Plus the crash is way worse than the energy its supposedly supposed to give me.

Coffee has never been proven harmful, and may be protective for the brain. I quit caffeine a couple times when younger for months and (once past the initial withdrawal headache) all that happened was I got more migraines and gained a couple of pounds, saw no benefits.

So no.

Alcohol I practice moderation, once or twice a week but never, ever, ever an everyday drinker. That I've taken years off and didn't feel better but not worse like when I tried no caffeine.

So usually no on that as well but I do sometimes go a month or two without.

I don't do any other drugs.
