Any headaches or tiredness are all part of the monster’s demands for caffeine. It is he who is dependent on caffeine, not you. Once you realize that he has lost his power over you, the situation is immediately reversed. You now control him. You are going to starve him of caffeine and revel in his death throes.
Accept that like everyone else on the planet you’ll have good days and bad days that are completely unrelated to having quit. You might feel tired after a late night out or a bit sluggish mid-afternoon after a run of tough days at work. Remember that’s just your body reminding you to take enough rest or eat properly or avoid other addictive poisons. It’s not a reason to take caffeine.
Realize that you are in control of the craving and not the other way around.
Don’t change your life in any other way purely because you quit caffeine.
Resist the temptation to convert your friends.
Don’t use substitutes.
Keeping yourself well hydrated is important for your physical and mental well-being.
Enjoy breaking false associations.
Never envy caffeine addicts, pity them.
