Caffeine

I have decided to go Caffeine-free.

I did this last year for about 5 months but it slowly crept back in. Now it is time to get rid of it for good.

I am prepared for the anxiety this time though. I know it will come. I know what it is. And I have tools to handle it.

Wish me luck!

Caffeine

In May last year I gave up caffeine.

What followed was months and months of severe anxiety. While I am sure they were not related, the initial stages of the anxiety were triggered by the removal of caffeine from my system.

I lasted 6 months without even a taste of the stuff.

But slowly it started creeping back in. A cup of tea here. A coke there...

The other day I realised I am back to drinking over a litre of diet coke every day again.

How did that happen?

So today I have decided no more. Time to get rid of it again. I feel a lot better without (so does my wallet). 

Already I am feeling the chest flutters that precede the anxiety. But I am not going to let it take hold and I am not going to let it sway me from my decision.

Caffeine free - here we come!
