Well yesterday I made the decision to start tapering down. Luckily i have a fuk load of caffeine pills so i can just split those in half or in quarter pieces. I had a major headache yesterday n today but not right now. ill prolly do this over the course of a week or two. If i fail ill prolly seek a rehabilitaton center.
I love pu erh tea! I found some a few years ago and fell in love. I've had difficulty finding it again since then though. I don't drink coffee more than once or twice a month probably. I like tea sometimes, but mostly herbal. Whenever anyone does a coffee run to Timmies I just get a hot chocolate though. It makes me feel like a kid.
It sounds strange, but I made my best attempt to remove all things in my life that warranted the use of caffeine; in my case it was my job--I had to or I was going to kill myself.
It's hard to find the raw stuff especially. I've found a few places that have the 'cooked' kind, but I'm not into that so much. Ebay is where the action is, buy it direct from China. This one looks nice. 2006 Organic Nannuo mount, early spring http://www.ebay.com/itm/2007-357g-Organic-Yunnan-NanNuo-Mount-Early-Spring-puer-puer-Puerh-Tea-Raw-Cake-/330825874132
That looks lovely! Next time I have money to spare on that, I might have to pick your brain on what to order.
It doesn't take that long for the physical part, after the first headache goes away if you haven't had anymore caffeine, you're done. The rest is just you fiendin' my friend... thats never going away :devil: lol
I'd be glad to recommend something for you when the time comes, unfortunately it's still a bit of a crap-shoot. Sometimes they might not ship what's advertised; you might get a batch that's somehow picked up an undesirable smokey flavor in the pan frying process; it could have been stored improperly and picked up odd odors, etc. But you could also get a great deal on some really magical tea! Pu erh an expensive tea anyway, It's way cheaper to buy straight from China. It takes forever to get here though, 4-6 weeks!
i like caffeine, been thinking about getting some modafinil too i think it might be good to study on.
This gal has no intention of giving up my coffee. I do drink tea but it just is not the same. I'd rather give up sugar.
Synthetic Caffeine If you look at a product label and find the word “caffeine” listed as an ingredient, then the product contain synthetic caffeine. Synthetic caffeine is produced by chemical or biochemical synthesis. Simply put, it’s man made. You will find synthetic caffeine in soft drinks (soda pop), energy drinks (Red Bull) and in energy shots. (5 hours energy shots) Too much of this caffeine can result in caffeine intoxication. This is characterized by nervousness, excitement, increased urination, insomnia, flushed face, cold hands/feet, intestinal complaints, and sometimes hallucinations. Natural Caffeine Caffeine is naturally produced by several plants, including coffee beans, guarana, verba mate, cacao beans, and tea. For the plants, caffeine acts as a natural pesticide. It paralyzes and kills insects that attempt to feed on the plant.
