Caffeine Addict Breaks Free: My Detox Member Tells All...

"Hi Everyone!Alex inspired me to write a testimonial on my experiences recentlygiving up caffeine. It's now 5-6 weeks that I have been caffeinefree!I used to drink at least 2-3 large black cups of coffee every day. Itwas my first destination in the morning (no breakfast, just coffee),for an energy kick just to get moving for the day.  I thought therewas NO way I would ever be able to get moving without it.What I found after giving up coffee completely in the first 2-3 weekswere some unexpected benefits.  Every morning I drank a tall glass ofwater and ate an energy-stabilizing food like brown rice porridge.  Ifelt so much more energized without the coffee! Best of all, it wasvery mood enhancing.  Instead of feeling dread about going to work andstress, I felt a lot more positive about being able to tackle theday.The first 3-4 days are challenging. This was always the period for mebefore when I would give in, and fall back into old routines.  I didget headaches.I can offer a few tips that I personally found really helpful inquitting for those first few days/week.First,  I got rid of the coffee machine on my counter. When it'sreally inconvenient to dig it out of the cupboard in the morning, it'sa lot harder to cheat.Second, I switched up the route that I took to work. I often stoppedat the Dunkin Donuts en route to my job to pick up a coffee fix, soinstead of being tempted, I bypassed it altogether.Third, decafinated tea!   I never liked tea before, but now I loveit!  It helps when you are used to a warm beverage.I hope this is helpful for any of you trying to quit caffeine!  It iswell worth the few days of discomfort and seems like it was so quickin retrospect!Best wishes to all!J."**My favorite product for ending the caffeine addiction cycle? Teeccino! It's delicious and coffee-like, but totally caffeine-free.
