    I’m trying to cut out coffee and tea is one of my weaknesses. So soothing…

    But the whole point for me is to avoid caffeine entirely, so resist I must. And if I may quote the comic,

    IT FUCKING SUCKS

      Have you found a non caffeinated alternative? Also weaning yourself off caffeine works so much better.

        So I’ve been told, but I’ve always done best with brutish force. I’m very habitual, so I don’t want to put myself into a position where I may end up drinking more coffee.

        I had a sip of some non-caffeinated coffee once and it tasted bleh so I haven’t bothered looking for alternatives. I’d rather play mental gymnastics in my own gym, if that makes sense.

      If you are Caffeine Sensitive, and Like Coffee…

      There are a few brands out there that make a really good Decaf Coffee and some roasters and Coffee Suppliers are actually giving more of a shit about their Decaf offerings. It does get a little pricier per bag of beans, but - might be worth shopping around if you have some independent shops/roasters around you.

      There are plenty of “teas” (other infusions) which don’t have caffeine. I swapped out black tea for rooibos, it’s not exactly similar but it hits the spot.

      There are decaf black teas if you want that. Or plenty of herbals.

      I avoid stuff with hibiscus, which limits the herbals I can drink since it’s so prolific, but there are plenty of them.
