RE: As a real coffee addict, I was challenged to cut caffeine out of my diet due to extreme headaches

in Natural Medicine3 years ago

Oof, headaches, especially migraines are no fun! I am glad you figured out the source of them and are doing better.

I never drank a cup of coffee until I was like 34 or so, because even though I liked the smell, the only thing around in logging land was acrid Folgers that tasted like battery acid, or at least what I thought battery acid might taste like.

Then I had a gloriously brewed cup of organic free trade espresso, it tasted like silken awesomeness, and I realized coffee was amazing lol!

So, I have exactly one cup a day, but there are days I go without it because I am super big into minimalism and stoicism, moderation in all things and stuff like that. My weakness used to be chocolate and sugar, the withdrawal headache lasted for 21 days when I kicked that habit to the curb, so this post of yours hits close to home.

And I am so, so glad you are doing fine without it😊

HAHAHA, I was about to ask, how do you know what that tastes like? :)

I fell for the trap again, and now I'm again facing headaches when I don't drink it, but I'm not going back to daily coffees, just as a treat. So that I can manage the headaches lol.

Oh my gosh, that's harsh! And all that for a craving lol.. but you see I gave in as well. I can totally see myself in Spain sitting there in the morning, having a cafe con leche every day like when we lived there before.. Oh well, I will deal with it later :)

LOL! I am pretty sure logging camp coffee and battery acid are the same thing lol lol!

I don't blame you for not going back to daily sips and headaches! I find I appreciate viewing things as a treat. I swear I enjoy them more and don't lose what I love about them in the first place to the law of diminishing returns, yay!

And having a cafe con leche in some Spanish cafe in coastal visit sounds like maybe taking a headache for, lol, good luck!
