Why yes I am, Boney-one, yes I am. :joy:
I had a glass of diet coke for new years - gotta get zany for new years, u know - and realized I hadnt been missing it and dont need it anymore. Didn't even have a second glass!
For now, I have rediscovered H20- water is really good. And grapefruit juice is a special treat. And loosing 5lbs just from quitting soda was AWESOME.
...not to mention the fact that I don't have cravings, mood swings, caffeine headaches or HALF as many migraines as I used to.
It was hard. But it was
so
worth
it.

You GO girl!!!!! But seriously - u might want to wait until a long weekend to do it. I had a very significant problem with caffeine, so it might not be as bad for you - and as with everything, it's always different for different people, but I strongly suggest that you prepare before you undertake a detox.
Have plenty of fruit juices and fresh vegetables and fruits to eat. No fast foods and try to stay away from excessive sugars for the first few days. And I can not possibly stress this enough - DRINK PLENTY OF WATER. Think of it as medecine. Eight glasses a day. No exceptions, no excuses. You will become very dehydrated and you'll NEED the water, wether you feel it or not. Gatorade is good to, for electrolytes, but if you make sure your diet is good this wont be too much of an issue for you.
Take it slow. Don't plan any strenuous work or traveling. Plan to be in the house on your butt - well away from any sharp objects
for a couple days. And have lots of Advil around. I sugest specifically advil, b/c other brands of headache meds can contain large doses of caffeine, as headaches are often caused by enlarged blood vessels - caffeine is a vaso-constrictor.
Do some yoga when the nausea passes, too, it did WONDERS for me.
I wish you the best of luck.... keep us posted!!! :jumping:

you can do it, Blue!!
Lawdy, if I could do it, bloody ANYONE can!!
It's going to be hell... but just keep telling yourself... the Caffeine is doing this to me. The Caffeine is the evil junk that is causing me all this pain.
I realized that somewhere in between migranes on day 2 - and I've never had a craving since. How could I ever go back to something that would cause THAT MUCH pain??
Keep drinking water. You'll be ok

There is an energy drink out in SoCal and in Utah that is all natural NO CAFFINE...a dentist I am remodeling an office for is Morman and they can't drink caffine so he has(makes and markets) an enery drink called "Jugular" and another one called "Yett" just for people who don't want or can't have caffine.....I will ask him if there is a site they can be bought from.....they taste the same as the rest of the energy drinks....but not as strong as a couple of them...about the same strength as Red Bull
