Detox Week: No Tobacco, Alcohol, Herb, Sugar, or Coffee

= Absolute misery.
On my third day. Mood swings all over the place. No energy. Massive headache.

Cheated a few times already--couple shots of vodka and some cookies.

Coffee is hardest because it was a permanent fixture in my daily routine. I always would grab a cup of coffee on my way to work and say hi to the cute coffee store girl.

Coffee seriously drains your energy when you drink it everyday. Go a couple weeks without and that morning grogginess will pretty much go away, same with that afternoon crash

Yeah... thx for the encouragement. I was overdoing it, drinking about 2-3 12oz cups (on average say 30 ounces) of strong coffee every day.
Notwithstanding the health and energy plusses of giving it up, I really miss it.

What exactly did you expect? If it were easy to quit cigarettes, alcohol, and caffeine, wouldn't people do it?

What an astonishing lack of willpower. Are you sure abstinence is something you should try for even one week?

Now that you mention it, I also haven't been very successful in my efforts to stop buffing the banana.
I think my record in the past three months has been two days? Once I tried the "no-fap challenge" from the Sexuality and Relationship forum. One month--30 days--without flogging the bishop. I made it four days!

Combination of a few things: job problems, upcoming drug test, feeling like shit, cash shortage, trying to look better for this chick, dehydration, back pain, brother's friend had a heart attack, and a couple of nagging injuries that won't heal.
I'm also stretching, exercising, and cleaning up my diet. Generally trying to clean up my act.
Nonetheless, I could really go for a right now.

Can't sleep.
Haven't had a cup of coffee in six days.
It's 4:15am and I'm wide awake.

Day 7.
The first five days were hell. All I did pretty much was sleep and feel like crap in so many different ways. Every muscle in my body was achey, every (body) joint hurt, and my head was killing me.
Now I'm bursting with energy. I can breathe again, I have more energy than I've had in years, and even did some wind sprints today.
But now I can't sleep.

wow. this is silly. first of all a skeptical view shows that most detox products etc are crap, water is the ultimate detoxify-er, drink it.
Detox Week: No Tobacco, good, tobacco is crap
Alcohol, i never drink regularly
Herb, nah. that's silly.

or Coffee oh holy cows of the East, why!? i use heavy cream and just a little sugar. for me life is about moderation and i enjoy things without shame, moderately. i only use cannabis and coffee often. and as i said my diet is healthy. heck now that i'm getting older i'm exercising all the time. cause i'm not stupid enough to think i can sit around and live forever.

Back when I worked out 6 days a week I couldnt sleep more then 5 hours a night. I was fucking wired from sun up to sun down, so much time for activities.

How do you even eat without getting some sugar Seems almost impossible to me to completely avoid sugar or caffeine in some way for prolonged periods.
