Quitting Caffeine Changed My Life

What’s happening to me?

Caffeine is the best drug out there. I consume it when I’m busy and have work to do, and when I’m bored and have nothing else to do. I’ve become so dependent on caffeine that I feel abnormal without it. I’ve wondered what my life would be like without caffeine, so I’m going to try and go a week without it just to see how I feel.

Day #1

I haven’t noticed too much of a difference yet. I have a throbbing headache, but that might be from my car accident this morning. I fell asleep at the wheel.

Day #2

My headache has continued. People are telling me to go to the hospital, but instead, I messaged a guy on Twitter that sells “miracle pills.” He told me the pills “affect the brain in a way that you won’t have to worry about your headache soon.” It was an easy transaction, and I just picked them up from his underground bunker. I’m craving caffeine, but I won’t break this challenge. I won’t try the pills until tomorrow, just in case the headache goes away. I’ve also puked twice today.

Day #3

I didn’t sleep last night. Insomnia isn’t something I’ve struggled with before, but it’s probably from the lack of energy I had all day yesterday. I didn’t have the energy to work, so I just watched random musicals all day. How can I be tired if I don’t do anything tiring? I guess caffeine is what has helped me fall asleep all these years. In the meantime, I took the pills I bought yesterday.

Day #4

Today was not a good day. My headache and insomnia are getting better, but I’ve been extremely grumpy. I’m not sure why, especially because today has been the best I’ve felt so far. I screamed at my dog because he barked at me. According to the pill bottle, there are “probably no side effects,” so I don’t think it’s from the pills. I took them again today. Hopefully, I continue to feel better tomorrow. Going to feed my dog and try to get some rest. His food smells amazing!

Day #5

Okay, now I’m pissed. My stupid headache and insomnia have gone away. I’m not pissed about that. I’m pissed that I ran out of ham. What the heck am I supposed to eat now! This sucks. My life sucks. I don’t want to consume…
