Quitting caffeine is one of the best things I ever did. I hadn't even intended to at first but when I looked into it every online source insisted that I shouldn't, which just made me determined to quit on the spot. The withdrawal was brutal though.

Why did reading that you shouldn't make you think that you should?
I found the idea of a bunch of health websites telling people not to break an addiction perverse.
The economy would collapse if everyon quit caffeine at the same time lol
I think he also said in that book that 9 of 10 of people in the world imbibe caffeine in some form. What’s up with the 1 in 10 who don’t?
THAT'S why they don't want you to quit!
What are the benefits? How do you even poop lol?
The main benefit is that you're no longer dependent on caffeine to get through the day. You sleep better, wake up better. To be honest though, it was the withdrawal that convinced me not to go back - it just seemed to me that anything that had that kind of effect on your circulation and nervous system probably wasn't a good thing.
I see. I'm a low tier caffeine abuser anyway lol. Just one weak instant in the morning so I can see properly and that's me done. Too much anxiety otherwiselolol
Yeah, I didn't have what you'd call a sensible caffeine addiction to start with. We tend to drink our coffee quite strong in Australia and I used to have 5 or 6 a day.
