Probably spoken about before . No Catholic when I was going to mass seems to bat an eye about the shared chalice even and the last people sharing a cup with 50 people regardless of colds or cold sores etc. the part that I never heard spoken about is the fact that in 1900 years or whatever under the Latin mass the cup wasn't drank by the laity but they only got the eucharist , however since the new mass in around the 60s they all just started sharing the cup ..?? I don't get it

I was sure to pack my herbal teas but I am so tempted . I won't use it tho after so long on zero caff, Everywhere I look someone is holding a coffee cup .... So what's your latest revelation about the drug caffeine ?

41 days at zero caffeine.thought I was going to have a instant coffee or cocoa in last week but I managed not to. Usually with sugar snacks and herbal teas. I have a holiday in one day so I don't want to get back on it now right before.

What's everyone opinion with cocoa ? Do U use it when off tea and coffee or avoid all caffeine and why

Made a half teaspoon of instant before jujitsu .cause iv been obsessing about a half instant coffee, I was so tired . But when I'm about to gulp it I threw it out car window cause I thought about my 37 days roughly of work ... I swear I'll end up snapping at some point. But I'm gonna micro dose. I won't use big doses again. I hope I don't snap tho

Whats the effect chamomile has with people. ? Even when I used caffeine I drank 2-4 chamomile bags per day , sometimes two bags in a cup. It's a relaxant that apparently works in a similar lighter way than valium, doing something to the benzodiazapine receptors. Is there any withdrawal from quitting it or does it seem to reduce anyone's libido. ?

I'm thinking I may be attached to it and I'm going to try to stop it and see what happens.

Last week I was like a zombie , and I was getting ready for a half teaspoon of instant to perk me up .lucky I didn't.... Today I took a hour walk and I'm only 9 days from a two weeks caffeine free holiday and I actually feel motivated again so I guess u can still be motivated from activities,whatever that is , holiday , diet, Sports , or whatever your hobbies are, without caffeine.

A co worker said I look tired lol I said I haven't had caffeine in a month , she said ." U should have some for energy" I was close to a half teaspoon of instant coffee but had some sweets and forgot about it . I don't want to use it even low dose, it just played on my imagination badly though. I guess it's how relapse occurs with any drug really

Week3 and I like the slowness. Iv been trying all new hobbies but not in a silly rushed way but slow and chill . Even the one weak cup a day was effecting me in the end of my wean. Id say I'm not going back. Zero caff..mmm

Allegedly they did a experiment where they used mice with no adenosine receptors, they were immune to caffeines effects and were unhealthy in multiple ways and had terrible sleep effects but still slept due to other factors like melatonin. Then I thought a dose of caffeine can block up to half the receptors forcing to make new receptors. So caffeine advocates , how can it be " healthy"

I thought when I was down to one weak coffee a day that it was amazing , but this is maybe a little better again . Much more chill and organised and sleep better and dream a lot. The negative side is im a bit daydreamy . Overall id say zero caff is better than a daily low dose and there's no risk of using too much on a particular day . The transition for one to zero cups was harder than the initial weaning off which I did over six months. Hoping to stay off totally now. Don't need it. I get the same amount of stuff done but just in a different rhythm. Id rather this than the caffeine rush which is illusory .

Some people advised roast chicory drink , to me it tastes like unsweetened cocoa?

It will be good to distract me from coffee ,one per day .

iv entered zombie land and I'm starting to enjoy it who wants to run around all day anyway

Caffeine free alternatives that taste like coffee excluding decafs ? I saw one at shop " nature's way rich roast" chicory , barly etc ? Does this one taste like coffee ? Any other suggestions please . I need to trick myself haha.

I was low dosing for about a year and a half before went to zero randomly.a big change happend when I believed that ' lower tolerance is better ' I started to not drink a cup in ten mins but slowly sip for hours , and kept weaning down to one weak cup . I was going to stay on that but just randomly quit .everything improved once my perspective changed from more is better abusing caffeine into lower tolerance is better. Then I was genuinely happy to use less and less. That's my two cents about low dosing.

many things are about belief. lots believe a big pre workout and gym is good other believe zero mg or a weak coffee before gym is better for example

Hey I actually have both premature and also had phimosis my whole life up until 35 .I corrected with stretching .I barely figured out I had it actually.

I have questions

1. Does caffeine effect premature? I found low or no caffeine helps me last longer at times . Mixed results. Highly caffeinated I cum quick.

2. Emla cream - I heard this comment when I read here . Are there side effects? Is it weird having it go numb?

The mind is tricky . I'm tempted today , I woke up with a slight headache cause I had mint tea last night , and certain teas give me a headache , can only really have chamomile. I'm trying to justify having a coffee by blaming the headache subconsciously on withdrawal even though I know the headache withdrawal is over . I even sniffed the leftover instant coffee jar. I know if I drink one I'll regret it . I realise I can only really use chamomile so far. I also have a cold which is making me want it

Seven days off the evil drug . Have a cold . Pretty run down, normally I'd blame the withdrawal and have a coffee... But I know coffee isn't responsible for everything . So I need to use this time to adopt a healthy diet so I can feel much better . Coffee definitely won't solve anything. it would just mean keep eating not so great diet but stimulated.... which, is worse 😅🍰🍗🍭

Everything's already slowed right down for me , feeling kinda daydreamy, especially after terrible hard yard work in a ridiculous yard. Dealing with ridiculous people and everything else that coffee would distract me from .

I can see how people say they feel slow, hopeless, depressed etc but then I thought what if this is how it's supposed to be . When your in rest mode more?

Being caffeinated daily was kind of like a second job, I always felt like I'm working even when sitting down and watching movie or " relaxing" id be at a physical job and then also working when not at the job. But double working while at job due to the stimulant effect of caffeine. I want to embrace this slowness.

Probably asked all the time but my account is banned and I used download your information after the ban, I got 50 folders of nonsense. Are my photos from albums in here somewhere? I'll never ever use gave again used since 2008. This is disgusting stuff
