This will be short due to the OMG MAKE IT GO AWAY headache I have.
If anyone tries to convince you that caffeine is NOT a drug, they are wrong.
I kicked caffeine once before, in 2001, and it took strep throat plus five days in bed. I was off the stuff for over 2 years, but it only took one iced coffee to bring about the last decade of addiction.
Even though I quit soda in January, I was still drinking black tea every morning along with the occasional chai.
After my bread/sugar crash extravaganza on Monday, and the way I felt on Tuesday because of it - I realized that I need to get rid of the caffeine demon too.
I meant to start that this weekend, but I ended up starting it yesterday. Honestly, I thought it would go easier this time, because I was drinking so much less than when I quit before. I was wrong.
I'm not going to lie. It hurts.
My head is pounding, my appetite is crazy go nuts, I'm totally emotional, and I feel rather like jabbing sharp metal objects through my eye sockets and into my brain.
I know that one Dr. Pepper or cup of tea would make this pain go away.
I have to stay strong. It has to get better than this. My overall health is worth this transition.
