Coffee has been a part of my life for quite some time. I started drinking to study all night at college, but I really appreciate it for the first time as a barista. For six years as a barista, I’ve learned the complexity of coffee and everything it offers, and I’ve been crazy about it ever since.
I know that coffee has many health benefits, but I also know that drinking coffee daily can lead to drowsiness, sleep deprivation, anxiety, and addiction to caffeine. .. And when I was drinking coffee one morning, I realized that I hadn’t spent a day without coffee for at least a couple of years.
I’ve wanted to quit coffee for quite some time, but I missed drinking it because I was afraid of withdrawal, so I put it off. But I finally decided to choose it, and for three weeks I didn’t have a drop of coffee. Here are some of the things I have experienced.
Withdrawal came with all my might
This was one of the things I was most afraid of, but it was also one of the things I felt most prepared. People I’ve talked about quitting coffee have always said, “You’ll have such a terrible headache at first!” And my experience was no exception.
It’s been a while since I didn’t drink coffee, so I was ready for my withdrawal symptoms to get pretty severe. There are few events scheduled, so I tried to spend a lazy day. Also, I made Advil wait if necessary.
The first day was exactly what I expected. I woke up, made my own herbal tea and started work. I had a headache secretly around 10 am and was pretty tired. By lunch, I had a serious headache and was in a very bad mood. I drank Adville, brewed tea for lunch, and continued to overcome fatigue.
I expected severe headaches and drowsiness, but I was surprised that these symptoms lasted only a day or two. I had a slight headache on the second day, but by the third day the headache and excessive fatigue had disappeared. In fact, I was shocked at how well I started to get well.

I feel better than I expected
What’s interesting about this experience is that I found myself rejuvenated by drinking coffee in the morning, but when my body was adjusted, I realized that I would be even better if I didn’t drink coffee. However, the energy I felt without coffee was different from the energy I felt when I drank coffee.
Drinking coffee in the morning will motivate you right after that. But in the afternoon, I usually feel a little dull. Without caffeine in the morning, my body woke up more naturally. So by the afternoon, I didn’t feel the same caffeine crash. I also noticed that it was easier to sleep in the evening as my body seemed to be approaching a natural rhythm.
I missed my morning routine
At the end of the day, I really missed coffee. Drinking coffee is always a central part of my morning routine as I love to drink coffee while writing, meditating and reading in the morning before starting work. I tried different types of tea and some coffee alternatives, but nothing brought me that much fun little feeling in the morning. Coffee was a basic part of my morning, so I really lost the taste and comfort of my morning cup.
Even if you don’t drink coffee, you can’t deny how energetic and energetic you were. But after all, I think coffee will always be a part of my life. But this experience may help me to take more breaks from drinking it and let my body adjust more often without it and reduce dependence on it. Showed me.
