On my 6 week no coffee, I thought i would cut out youtube and all social media for one week, mainly to stop the news feed scrolling and consuming content, and create more. Youtube content i have watched everyday for some years now. I actually found it easier than i thought, and more in the present moment over the week, happier and also being aware of my own thoughts and creativity, I wrote quite a few blog posts also and found great joy in doing that! Going back to youtube yesterday i felt not that interested to watch much, just Justins latest video and another one, I found the newsfeed and scanning videos quite draining so put my phone down and just focused on being present, feel I can go a bit longer, thought i'd share, as Youtube was my biggest problem and was easier than i thought

Hi everyone. While I’m not 100% sober at the moment, I am working on. A few days ago I celebrated 2 years alcohol free. I use no other drugs aside from caffeine. It has been far more difficult giving up caffeine than alcohol. I’m down to one cup of 75% decaf/25% caffeinated coffee in the morning but I eat dark chocolate every day and I have kombucha on occasion. I’ve gone cold turkey a few times and it was insanely intense but it also showed me how physically addicted I had become. This time around I am tapering off. My next step is letting go of chocolate and kombucha.

Happy to be part of this community and thanks Justin for great videos and 1-1 Coaching! I am on 5 and half weeks no caffeine. Still going strong and longest I have been with no caffeine in the last 20 years. I can report amazing sleep and present, less anxiety. In the 1-2 month caffeine absence, sometimes struggle a bit with purpose and clarity as things that fulfilled me on caffeine now don't. Also sometimes struggle with wanting a coffee or a matcha, and being surrounded by people in a cafe drinking one. Overall prefer my life and enjoying being drug free as i quit alcohol a couple of years ago, and avoid weed and other psychedelics unless it is a sacred ritual i really feel called to do. Here is to being Sober and enjoying life as it is!
