Help me break my energy drink addiction
Since I was 11 or 12 years old, on average, I've drank about 2 per day.

I slowed down considerably right around 20 years old, and since then have been on about 1 or 2 per day.

If I see them in a grocery store, I have to buy one. If I go inside to Quik Trip, there's no chance I can walk out empty handed. I don't even feel a true burst of energy off them, and haven't felt that in many years. I drink them and at most I'll be at a normal level of energy, but without one I'll feel heavy eye'd throughout the day.

I'm still in decent/good shape, but I'm tired of feeling tired. I feel like once I finally break away from these things I'll once again have my natural energy back and maybe once I do indulge in a caffeinated beverage I'll actually feel energy from it. At this point I can still drink one or two and fall asleep 5 minutes later no problem.

It's a real addiction, and I need to do something about it. Don't know how to alter my mind into thinking I don't need energy drinks anymore, but I gotta stop.

Coffee is now found to have anti-oxidants in it too. Remember, it's a fruit.

Not saying that's true of all pathologies but the modern American diet is not friendly to anyone's liver. It's just I posted earlier you guys treat pathology not wellness so much.

You strike me like you would have been one of the doctors who condemned Semmelweis. Guess what? You're not a god and people have the right to question some of your practices.

Do you believe you have a chemical dependency?

What is it that you get from drinking them?

Sitting in my office, drinking my morning Red Bull, reading this thread.

Ugh.

I'm not drinking 2-3 a day like the OP, but I feel like I need one every morning - no different than others who drink coffee.

I've been off nicotine cold turkey for 8 days in a row after a 20+ year habit. I'm still craving it right now. Been chewing sugar free gum to help with it.

Bump.

This thread inspired me to quit my 2-a-day rockstar habit.

Havent had one since Sunday midday.

Sunday night and most of Monday......migraine-like headaches....a little stomach sickness.

But today, it's gradually getting better. (headaches come and go, as opposed to constant, like they were sunday night).

You can do it KCCroc.....just plan it over a 2-day period where you dont mind feeling like crap (maybe call in sick for a day).

It gets better....

That's great man. Keep off it until you can fully control it and get to where YOU decide whether or not it's ok to have an occasional one, and not your mental pattern telling you it's time.

I finished day 3 today. I've been drinking a small cup of coffee (black) in the morning at work, then one more small cup around 2pm. Other than that it's been all water. And plenty of it.

I've stepped foot into a Quik Trip each day, and yeah the thoughts crossed my mind. Today was a true test. At my job I basically get to drive the company vehicle around all day, so gas station stops for restroom breaks are frequent. I stepped into an Everyday on county line. Walked to the back of the store and saw the wall of energy drinks. Stood in front of them for a second. Ended up leaving with a G2 Gatorade (not a great choice, but better).

I've certainly saved a few dollars so far this week. I've already decided my first day with an energy drink will be on the morning of the Chiefs home opener. I'll have one, and that'll be it. I'll actually have control over it.

Oh, by the way, aside from the mental hang up, I've felt GREAT yesterday and today. Much more energy than before. Day 1 was pretty tough but it wasn't on my mind as much.

Good to hear - day 5 here. My sleep pattern has been different, so I dont have the energy yet (due to not having a great night of sleep)......but I'm much more clear-headed, and mellow.

Keep up the good work - stay strong!

Been off nicotine cold turkey for 3 weeks tomorrow!

Still craving like a SOB though. Especially after meals. Not drinking alcohol at the moment either.

Congrats!

I always held that if you can go out and booze it up 3 times without breaking your quitting streak and having a smoke, then you have a great chance of quitting smoking for good.

A fairly good measure of your will power when you are most likely to be at your lowest level of the ability to resist.

Haven't drank one since I started the thread. I can't do the coffee every day thing. I'm just not a coffee person.

The closest thing I've had to an energy drink during this is a Yerba Mate from Sprouts. I can't even count that. Look at the ingredients and most would concur.

I'd say I have control over it now. This is the longest I've gone without them since I was a kid.

To the rest of you, join me in dropping your bad habit whether it's dip, cigs, or whatever it may be.
