This week I realized I’ve hit a milestone—four months since I stopped drinking anything with caffeine. Yes, amazingly, after drinking two 20-ounce bottles a day, I decided to quit. I made the decision when I realized I had stomach issues when I drank it. I decided to see if things would improve if I stopped drinking caffeine completely.
As you might imagine, I had a rough week or two at the beginning. My coworkers noticed it as well, I’m sure. But I got through it. I didn’t weaken even on my birthday, because my stomach did feel better without the caffeine. Go figure.
Six months ago, I couldn’t imagine going more than a day without caffeine; now I’m off it. And I don’t miss it . . . much.

Wow! I’m really impressed with your decision and fortitude. It’s been close to 50 years since I made that decision, but I still remember how hard it was at first. Good for you! (And I’m so glad it helps your symptoms.)

I can’t believe it has been four months! Good for you!
