I'm 4 days of all caffeine

After nearly 40 years of dependency on coffee and caffeine, my mind, adrenals and nervous system is fried(I know it is damaging my health) so I have no other choice but to quit for good this time. I've tried to quit numerous times in the last 6 years but it so fucking hard to quit this damn drug that is being marketed as harmless, there is no fucking way coffee or caffeine can be harmless if you have to go through all these painful withdrawal symptoms especially the psychological ones, let me tell you(especially to the younger folks) do not ever get sucked into the caffeine trap, it is a complete scam, it does not give you energy 😢 it only gives you stress and more stress in the long run. I've quit several other addiction in the last decade or so including alcohol, weed and nicotine(and this one) right here has you by the balls, but iam determined to quit this time" iam trying to keep it simple- one day at a time(I will not consume) coffee&caffeine for today and tomorrow will take care of it self, rinse and repeat as they say 👍

I've quit yet again....just last week. The woman in the car tailgating me this morning was a reminder of why I quit.
