What Happens When You Suddenly Quit Coffee?
My experience after quitting coffee for a week
Recently I decided that I would quit coffee for a while, just to see what would happen.
Here’s my story:
Backstory
I had been drinking coffee consistently — almost every morning — for months at that point.
Usually two portions every time.
Sometimes I would even drink another coffee in the afternoon, to counteract the afternoon crash.
I didn’t see any downsides when it comes to drinking coffee, I just thought that it made you more awake and that’s it.
At some point, I was working as an intern at a company, where I drank around three to four coffees daily. This lasted for almost a month.
I decided, partially out of curiosity, and partially out of concern for my health, that it would be a good idea to get rid of caffeine for a while.
Before we get into the details, let me tell you: the first couple of days were pretty agonizing.
Right After Quitting
What I mean by “right after quitting” is one or two hours immediately after the time when I would usually drink my two coffees.
