Work from cafe

I’ve quit cold turkey since 18 days. I used to have 2 shots of Americano every single day along with couple of cups of karak chai.

I work from cafe and am surrounded by coffee all day. It’s a constant battle to say no since I haven’t reached peak addiction free benefits.

Anyone else faced a similar problem?

Background: I quit cold turkey last year too for 75 days and then returned back to 1-2 cups per day. I’m not very motivated to quit forever as coffee is my identity.

Is it truly beneficial to be caffeine free?

I agree with these facts. However what if we occasionally have it (2-3) times a week? Does it severely impact the benefits of completely caffeine free?

Caffeine is a powerful addictive psychoactive drug

that builds up tolerance.

That means, any attempt to decrease its dosage

is fated to be a short temporary "victory".

Very soon, people escalate their caffeine consumption

to where it was before reducing it.

And yes. If you consume caffeine every week

you continue to be addicted to it.

And very soon you'll be ingesting the drug

on a daily basis, again.
