What is an addiction many people don’t realize they have? - programming.dev

Caffeine, people think they aren’t addicted to caffeine and can stop any time but watch them be miserable and go right back when they try
It actually makes you feel like you have the flu for about 3 days to a week.
Personally I just had the worst headache for multiple weeks.

Headaches?! Yes, the first evening, after that, nothing. No flu like symptoms, no nothing. It’s just a habit for me but doesn’t fuck me up if I don’t do it.

I’ll happiely drink 4-6 red bull a day and another 1-4 coffee on top, but I don’t care if there is none.

Weeks of headaches? Flu like symptoms? You guys sure you don’t just have a placebo effect when quitting?

I’m calling bullshit that you get minimal effects going from regular (the most important part is regular) over 400mg caffeine to zero.

Unless you’re just a natural freak who doesn’t become dependent on stimulants, you absolutely should feel like crap for at least a day or two.

Nope, no freak here, I got other substances that I can’t quit as easily but coffee wasn’t a problem at all.
Congratulations on your resistance to chemical addiction then. I still seriously doubt your claims though.
it sounds like you are angry at me for not getting side effects when stopping caffeine
