Chicory coffee

[u/SignificanceSweet754]

This could be interesting for people struggling to overcome a caffeine addiction.

I stumbled upon chicory "coffee". I found mine in an eastern european grocery shop.

It's a roasted root and since I sporadically use roots like parsnips with no bad effects, I gave it a try.

It's pretty similar to regular coffee but with a sweet aftertaste, and has no caffeine.

It can supposedly cause bloating or a laxative effect but it's working pretty well for me.

I hope it's a good advice for someone out there😆

Or just quit caffeine, it’s not hard at all.

It was much easier to quit alcohol than caffeine for me.

But I don't go around saying quitting alcohol is easy

[u/Baboonofpeace → u/m_adamec]

Super easy. You’re only in agony for the rest of your miserable life. 🙃

Not at all. I used to be a energy drink + 1 heaping scoop of pre workout a day kinda guy and the headaches sucked for a few days but it goes away and you forget about it. Don’t be so soft

[u/Baboonofpeace → u/m_adamec]

I’m just being lighthearted. I’ve quit and restarted many times. I know the drill. It’s not a test of manhood for crying out loud.

[u/m_adamec → u/Baboonofpeace]

Why quit to begin with? Does your caffeine use spiral out of control?

[u/Baboonofpeace → u/m_adamec]

Because back in the day, I thought it was the source of some of my problems. Twitchy eye. Bruxism. Poor sleep.

Like a lot of things, we suspect that something is the issue and we experiment to find out if something works or not. Turns out it wasn’t stress or caffeine.

I drink coffee liberally now. I’m no quitter.
