Here's the link, it's great fuckin coffee https://schoolsforchiapas.org/store/coffee-corn-and-agricultural/zapatista-coffee/
Nope, nothing wrong with that at all. That's how I prefer to drink it, too. And I actually didn't even get into drinking coffee until well into my 20s.
Nah, I love the taste of it too. I don't drink it black but I put in just the bare minimum of cream/sugar to take off the sharp edge
that and I do have a nasty caffeine addiction but those aren't mutually exclusive
It's almost as if humans aren't meant to handle the 40 hour work week.
i've had the same feeling for years. the reason coffee is so popularized is because the capitalist class need us to work absurd hours so they put out all the coffee propaganda.
used to treat cocaine the same way. A carrying case for cocaine was seen as an appropriate coming of age gift for 13 year olds back in the day
thats actually how all addictive substances work lol but heres an article. https://www.theenergyblueprint.com/why-does-coffee-make-me-tired/ Coffee does keep you awake it just doesn't give you energy There's a difference
I quit all my other drugs. Coffee I'll drink until I'm dead
If you mean L-theanine, it's a completely different drug found in addition to caffeine in tea. It's said to offset some of the negative effects of caffeine.
Is there a difference? I drink a shitload of tea and I'm probably as addicted to caffeine as coffee drinkers.
Not sure if this applies to you, but have you done a sleep study? Because in my case, what I thought was a caffeine addiction was several years of untreated sleep apnea.
I did not need to know this. You putting this knowledge into my brain is violence.
once the withdrawals are over, its so worth it to stay off, its been fantastic for my mental health surprisingly.
its helped, I don't get overwhelmed as much and my autistic meltdowns are much less frequent. I also fall asleep and wake up SO much easier. I'm much much more alert in the morning surprisingly.
This is specifically why I never started drinking coffee. I stick to black tea. I saw how many people (including my wife) are utterly dependent on it and decided I didn't want that to be me.
I mean you can still get addicted to black tea if you drink enough habitually
My family is from the south, I drank sweet (black) tea like it was water (and didn't really drink water). Stopped drinking it a few months ago and besides craving the flavor every so often I didn't really experience withdrawal symptoms.
Also I swear that shit is why everyone in the south is so fat. It's like liquid sugar.
Honestly, I've used a bunch of different "addictive" drugs, caffeine is the only one I'm stuck coming back to, even though I've quit several times.
Don't touch Benzos or Opiods, other than that - drugs are cool (in moderation).
Even though work has been easier ever since I started working from home, I still find myself needing more and more caffeine despite getting 6-7 hours of sleep each work day.
If I don't have 3 coffees or energy drinks by 1 pm I get super drowsy and need to lay down for a few hours. Then when the weekend starts I sleep for 10 hours each night and I feel tired again Monday morning.
I think I might have a few health issues... too bad I'm saving up for when my POS car inevitably breaks down.
Maybe see if you can switch over to green tea? A bit of caffeine, but less than coffee, and you still get a nice warm drink in the morning. Should be easier to eventually taper from there.
Yes, with a reasonable taper it should be very straightforward to get to zero caffeine dependency
