I do not believe I was mentally ready to stop drinking coffee. I believe coffee defiantly gets me through the day. My first day of giving up coffee was Tuesday, September 6, 2016. I decided to go with Tuesday because I depend on coffee mostly at work and I was off on Monday. All day on Tuesday I thought about coffee and wanted to go get a coffee so bad.

At the end of the day, I had a headache and still had a …show more content…

Although, I only experienced some of the symptoms I was shocked to learn that there are real symptoms to giving up coffee and the symptoms I was experiencing were just not in my head. Going through this experience made me realize giving up anything is hard and it takes self-discipline to stick with giving something up. I learned that it was very hard to focus and even found myself having to re-read everything I typed a couple of times. After continuing to read “Caffeine Withdrawal Symptoms: Top Fifteen”, I also learned that symptoms of withdrawal can last for a few days or a few months. I learned the science of withdrawal and how to ease the symptoms of withdrawal in case I ever decide to go back to giving up coffee. Giving up something so small made me realize how hard it is to give up something even bigger like
