Caffeind
So it's been just about 2 weeks now since I had any caffeinated drinks. It just sort of worked out that way. I started out a few weeks ago realizing that I was consuming an aweful lot of caffeine: like 28 ounces of tea at work and usually a coke at lunch. I figured I'd work on cutting back to just one mug of tea and maybe a coke, but as I slowly decreased my intake I just kind of kept going until I wasn't having any at all. Then I figured I'd see it I could keep that up for a while, give my system time to recover, since I think this is really the first time in my adult life I've gone more than a day or two without some kind of caffeine. I suspect it may have been causing all manner of symptoms. Once I've gotten to the point where caffeine is no longer the norm, maybe I'll have something from time to time. I'll probably enjoy it more. I think I'm sleeping better now, though. I've been a little anxious the past couple of days, and I'm wondering a little if that might be a sort of aftershock. I'm told your body is supposed to reset itself after about 5 days without, but I was drinking a certain amount pretty consistently for several years, so maybe it's taking me a little longer.
