Help me break my energy drink addiction

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!
