I've gone 21 days with ZERO caffeine

It's one of the best choices I've ever made

Want to know why (and how) I quit?

Read on...

[A THREAD] ⏬

Back around Thanksgiving, I thought I was going to die

I was having severe chest pains and panic attacks

3am one morning, I legit thought it was the end for me

Turns out, too much caffeine had caused acid reflux

Which in turn caused chest pains and panic attacks

⏬

I decided to quit using caffeine

First I tried quitting cold turkey

That was a HUGE mistake

Don't ever do that

I was fatigued, irritable, unfocused + had a massive headache

⏬

I then changed my strategy

I tapered down my caffeine use over 7 days

Had almost no side effects

But you know what else?

My chest pains COMPLETELY disappeared

⏬

I went 30 days with no caffeine

Then in mid-July, I had a large cold brew

Chest pains came roaring back

So, I've quit again

I'll never use caffeine regularly again

⏬

I've also noticed these positive side effects of quitting

- less moody
- insomnia improved
- energy levels are even
- save money from buying coffee

If you're like 80% of the worlds population

You use caffeine every day

But you know what? You don't have to

You probably want to quit but don't know how
