       I decided to try going without caffeine today and I am not going. I am halted.

       @seldo Paraphrasing Archer, “Do you like headaches? Because that’s how you get headaches!”

       @seldo What’s behind your decision?

       @seldo I was severely addicted to espresso and had to quit years ago... Went cold turkey, suffered through a week or two of severe and debilitating withdrawal and now I never wanna have caffeine at all. Not even a snickers bar. Probably one of the better dietary decisions I made but not for everyone 😶

       @seldo I've had high blood pressure for months & lately I tried 40 changes. After reading more about adenosine & sleep/waking & how coffee disrupts it I thought I'd have a few days without caffeine. They were utterly useless days with brain fog & lethargy, but my BP readings were their lowest. So I went back on coffee & had a more productive day & my BP went back up. Off coffee today & had a useless day but BP is back down. So it appears I have a choice: have a life or have a stroke 🙄

       @seldo I got down to pretty much one cup a day during the pandemic and now sometimes I go a day without, which I could not have done before. When I'm traveling, I drink more just because I like to go to coffee shops.

       @seldo I’m rooting for what you want. As for methods I’ve had some success with in the past: I found swapping modes (eg caffeine pills vs coffee) to help. I could measure more effectively the caffeine and slowly lower the dose. Also mixing in an alternative stim didn’t hurt.

       @seldo Were you able to predict in advance that you would halt? 🤭
