I’ve been drinking too much coffee in the morning, and it’s catching up with me. My brain is an E-string tuned up to G, and my gut feels scoured. Time to purge. Drinking green tea this morning, and I’ve gotta say, it’s just not cutting it.

Yerba Mate (technically not a tea, pushes glasses up nose) is a good in-between.

No, it isn't. Disgusting. Just cut down on the coffee. No way to do it cold turkey.

Compared to the kratom stuff some of you were drinking for a while Yerba Mate is a walk in the park. Pretty neutral tasting to me.

Try one normal coffee in the morning to get airborn, then use tea to maintain cruising altitude.

This is the way. Also, an espresso to maintain. Less caffeine than a cuppa.

This is all sound advice. I’m still going to try cold turkey for a week and ease back in. A reset is overdue.

I have done so in the past few days, no stimulants what so ever from Friday. I need to reset my receptors, feel like I have been bombarding my body with everything the last 18 months.

I bought a 20oz coffee on the way to work the other day and refilled it 3 times. 80oz of coffee is too much. I gotta cut that shit out. I imagined having 2 40oz beer bottles filled with coffee and knocking them off and it kinda freaked me out. It's not the first time either.

OK, but American coffee is kinda like watered down Italian chamomile tea.
