I'm trying to quit nicotine again after a semi-successful attempt a couple of months ago, and I thought, if I'm going to go through withdrawals for this, maybe it would be worth it to quit caffeine while I'm at it?
Is it worth it though? Do the cons of a caffeine addiction outweigh the pros?
Wakefulness and concentration? Although I've heard that all improves after you quit. So maybe there is none, idk. I'm going to try it, see how much all the withdrawal at once demolishes me.
Oh I misread, I thought you were talking about the pros of quitting. Yeah I mean what are the benefits? Coffee is a cheap smart drug, tastes great, and is a nice ritual. What's the supposed benefit of quitting?

I've read improved sleep, less anxiety, mental stress, stress on your body, etc. Plus I drink so much coffee and I still feel tired all day, so whats the fucking point?
I don't know how true those "pros" are, but I'm gonna try to see
Yeah if you're struggling with anxiety that makes sense, when I was doing the same I stopped drinking caffeine. Hope it works.
It's also super bad for yellowing your teeth
There isn't. In my experience you cannot have caffeine routinely because you will inevitably build up a tolerance and you will feel awful if you don't increase your intake. I've been having around 40mg a day for a week to improve my wake up time and I'm already starting to feel depressed and tired once it wears off. After like three days you aren't getting a boost from it, you're just staving off the withdrawal effects. The only thing that has helped my tiredness is a nap at noon.
