Day 60: Living Caffeine Free

Have lived caffeine free for 30 days, and pledge to stay off caffeine for the rest of the year!
Video Summary:
Today is the final day of my caffeine withdrawal program – the T Minus 30 program. I’ve been through the 30 day withdrawal process, and this is my 30th day completely caffeine free. I thought I would do a video to mark the end of the program, and to summarize the entire process.
I’ve been off caffeine for 30 days, and I’m going to set myself a new goal to stay off of caffeine for the rest of the year. I don’t really have a strong desire to drink a coffee or energy drink that much, so I’m just going to continue living caffeine free.
I would definitely recommend this process for anyone trying to quit caffeine. Over the past couple of years I’ve been trying to quit, and I’ve gone cold turkey several times. The longest period I’ve ever gone caffeine free was 21 days using the cold turkey method, and the entire 21 day period was never comfortable.
Although the gradual caffeine withdrawal system I’ve shown in these videos is not effortless (in fact it’s still pretty hard), it has worked.
It would still be easy for me to drink some caffeine now, but the reason I’m not going to do it is that I don’t want to go through this withdrawal process again. The method worked, but it’s not something I want to go through again. So, I am going to use this as a motivating factor to stay off caffeine for the rest of the year, and the rest of my life basically. I will take it one step at a time, however, and set the end of the year as an achievable short term goal.
I may do some more videos in the interim on book reports or on breaking news in the world of caffeine.
Good luck in your attempt to get off of caffeine!
