One time I got a contigo, and it got me drinking purified water for a week straight. It tasted so good, I felt better. I was urinating more often.
Then suddenly around the week mark. I felt violently ill, massive headaches. I don’t feel like refilling the contigo, grab a can of coke instead. It tastes funny because I haven’t had one in awhile.
Headache clears up immediately.
Mfw, I have a caffine addiction.

You can.
If you cut our about one half a cup of coffee a day, you can stop taking caffeine without withdrawal symptoms. You can even switch to decaf if you want to keep your habits in the same pattern.

Sounds good on paper, but not that easy. We’re talking years, maybe decades of addiction, quitting overnight and trying to keep a job, household running, dependants alive… Not always that simple. It’s a vicious cycle.

It’s not overnight, it takes a few weeks.
It does require some discipline and willpower (like figuring out how much coffee you currently drink, then remembering how much you can drink now).
If you are ADHD or just scatterbrained then yeah might not work, but you really can do it.
