Hey Matt have you considered quitting vitamin supplements for 30 days?
no one:
Matt Davella: I quit heroin for 30 days
Ohh man i need to try that.
Here's what happened...

@Alexander Supertramp no they dont. Drug withdrawl almost always lasts a week. Thats right. Heroin, cocaine, meth, you feel bad for a few days when you quit it but you get back to normal fast. After that drug addicts dont physically need it they just crave it. Cocaine withdrawl probably wouldnt be worse then caffeine withdrawl for example. Fatigue, depression, back to normal in a week
Matt Dupuis withdrawals from cocaine and meth aren’t physical withdrawal symptoms in the same way heroin and benzo withdrawals are, it’s pretty much entirely mental.
Meth for example is extremely neurotoxic when used the way most addicts use it (in multiple day long binges) so when you come off of it your endorphins will all be extremely low and you’ll feel absolutely fucking terrible for a while, same with coke, but that isn’t a physical withdrawal. You will physically probably feel terrible because you likely aren’t eating and sleeping well but it isn’t your bodies reaction to not having any more of the drug, it’s just how you feel once your poor health isn’t masked by a big dopamine hit.
Heroin is different and it really depends on the severity of it but it can definitely last more than a week and usually lasts for months because quitting it without slowly weaning off is a terrible idea for most people, and even weaning will most of the time induce withdrawal symptoms, just far less intense than if you were to just flat out quit. Benzos like Xanax can take months for the physical withdrawal to subside even if you quit cold turkey, which can quite literally kill you.
I’m really not sure what you mean by that last bit but yeah no quitting a heavy cocaine habit will absolutely be more difficult than giving up caffeine almost 100% of the time. Of course there will be outliers but cocaine is a FAR more addictive substance than caffeine. The reliance on caffeine is usually habitual and is caused by changes in your adenosine receptors whereas cocaine is literally training your brain to seek cocaine above everything else like food sex etc, because the dopamine reward is so much greater than any natural means of getting a dopamine hit. This is even more extreme with meth because I’m pretty sure it releases more dopamine than any other substance or action on earth
@@bobo-bx8yj i am prescribed an amphetamine for adhd, which is not really much different from methamphetamine, same drug just different potency. I find caffeine withdrawl is harder to get through then amphetamine withdrawl. With caffeine there is more physical lethargy for me and aches and pains. Amphetamines are more mentally addictive without a doubt though
@John Hurley yes, a headache is a physical dependency sign. What's the confusion here? Caffeine is an addictive drug, like any other. The difference is that it's legal. The addiction is also not as severe as with any other drugs, but its also not as bad as some others (LSD, Mushrooms and DMT for instance have very low addictive potential).
Now I am motivated.....

Quitting caffeine has been one of the best decisions I've made in terms of improving my physical and also mental health. It improved my sleep and reduced my anxiety a lot.

Yes it can definitely help with anxiety and depression
@@redditsource1972 how ?
Yesss! Same here

It was. Probably worse.
I quit coffee for almost 3 years now, my blood pressure was always high. Since i quit coffee, my blood pressure stayed normal. There was a side effect on quitting coffee. My anxiety went on the roof, went to ER a lot, thinking I was going to die. I fought and won. I am caffeine free for almost 3 years and 7 without smoking. We can change if we want to. Cheers, amazing channel
Valdemar Traça I don't plan on stopping drinking coffee as it helps my ADHD I've tried before and it made it that much harder for me to focus but I want to quit cigarettes what would be some great advise for quitting smoking
Tim Batchelor every organism reacts differently, but smoking 🚬 less won’t make you stop smoking. I took a year to interiorize in my mind that I had to stop smoking, before I started my non smoking journey, then after a year I just quit, smoke the last cigarette and quit. I swore on my baby ( at the time) life, that i would not smoke again. Won’t lie to you, it was really hard. And it has been 7 years. You have to believe that you can, and you have to really want to quit smoking otherwise you won’t. Hope you can
Valdemar Traça yeah I've been telling myself that for about year I have to get my wisdom tooth extracted and I know I can't smoke once I get it done I want to use that as the time I quit hopefully I can make it.
Tim Batchelor you will, it’s going to be hard, very hard, but you will make it.
@@valdemartraca just smoke a sigaret and have a cup of coffe life is to short

Haha my thoughts exactly. "i was thinking about this cup of coffee for 30 days" I feel he was really just trying to prove to himself that he was addicted. But hour 32 should have made it pretty obvious. I'm on day 4. Day 3 was pretty bad haha

Knew this video was going to be bullshit, when he partnered with the coffee aficionado guy. Coffee/caffeine doesn’t give you energy, it robs your natural energy. Moves the baseline off centre.
Also it makes you less focused as the cortisol/ adrenaline coursing through your veins is suited for bursts of physical activity/gym than staying still and concentrating deep on one task.
Last, the way you sucked on that cup of coffee at the end of the video like a crack pipe tells you all you need to k ow about the insidious effects of caffeine.
Stop being another brick in the wall, think for yourself and check out the book Caffeine blues, or watch ua-cam.com/video/y_xA70lWrDs/v-deo.html
The initial withdrawals is the dependence. The emotional longing to go back is the addiction.

Try switching all drinks with WATER for 30 days....
Lure Art don’t tell me my business devil woman
I do this pretty much 90% of the time. I only drink soda when eating out or something.
Water and green tea are my jam ngl
@@Darktega sparkling water does the trick too!
Easy as fuck, already did that and trust me its so easy
I used to drink coffee every single day and I did it for about 10 years. I loved coffee but suddenly, during this pandemic, I don't know if it is because I am moving less, but I was getting a horrible anxiety everyday and I realized it was because of caffeine. I stopped drinking coffee and it immediately helped! I haven't dunk coffee ever since and I know it was the best decision I could have taken for my health, at least for now.
The same thing is happening to me. I keep getting a panic attack after breakfast and also one at night in the middle of sleeping (So I get up like a crazy person and run in the bathroom and run the shower, it sucks, its not only scary but it ruins my sleep). Also just in general my anxiety has been pretty bad. Today for the first time ever, instead of having a giant cup of coffee in the morning, I made the tiniest coffee in a super tiny cup, watered down. I put hardly any sugar at all when normally I put quite a bit. Instead of having some form of chocolate (usually either at noon or evening) I had absolutely none. lol.
I just dont think I can handle caffeine anymore. Its almost like it goes right to my blood and doesnt filter out or something. I hope I can quit because its really bothering me.
Finally someone who went through the same thing as me
Always interesting to watch addicts justifying their addiction.
Bro I’m not addicted to weed I just spend 2/3 of my paycheck on it and smoke it everyday all day but I could quit any time I just don’t want to that’s no addiction
@John Smith this me lol, but fuck caffeine and fuck weed
@@JohnSmith-fs8bu I know you mean bro, there's literally nothing else for me to forward to, lmao.
Thats crazy they went back. I think it might be a fake video too. Making people believe that coffee addiction is allright. These people have sold themselves.
The internet:
Matt: I quit breathing
*for 30 days*
the 31st day:
Matt: I will never do it again
@@sonson-ct9cm makes sense to me
This is extremely interesting from the perspective of someone who has never had coffee at 30 years old, people always ask me why I don't start drinking today, but I think of it as: why would I willingly get myself addicted to a substance I don't need in order to function?
Jarrod'sTech Agreed! I’m turning 30 later this week and I’m now two weeks along caffeine free and I’m loving it! I’ve drank multiple cups/servings of caffeine a day for probably 10 years or so, not anymore!!
Same
Correct. Do not start. As a thinker, I would have now preferred to skip the experience.
I hear you!! 28 myself, I don’t drink or smoke and get asked the same questions, and I ask the same questions
Yep! No need to start. The only time I “needed” coffee was in the morning when I hated my job.
Quitting caffeine after 15 years' daily use I finally got back the feeling of that "real" drowsiness, deep sleep, energy, and peace (no more anxiety)! Like nicotine and sugar caffeine is silently crippling and killing us. Wake up and quit to experience the difference for yourself! It's not that hard at all.
Day 4 no coffee for me and it honestly has not been that bad. I’m doing it to help heal an stomach ulcer and look forward to going back to my 1 cup a day within the next month or so. I’ve realized keeping my coffee to 1 cup has been huge in not experiencing major withdrawal.

@@themaxjenkinson yeah .. no.
yep, U should
That's not such a bad idea. Start somewhere
Interesting how you felt no positive effects on sleep or anxiety from quitting caffeine! Those two things were the most profound things to change for me when I quit. I was able to sleep the entire night through without waking up & didn’t struggle to get out of bed
He didn't quit for long enough. Many people do this dilly 30 day challenge which is not enough to reap the benefits if you have been a long-term user
If he drinks coffee early, then it's probably not gonna affect his sleep. His tolerance is probably also high enough to not feel anxiety when drinking coffee. Only time I've ever felt anxiety on caffeine was when I took 1000mg of caffeine pills at once out of frustration; was kinda fearing for my life.
yes same for me!! i quit coffee for 5 days only and i sleep totally great as without waking up in middle of night. deep sleep also than before. BEST Descision! also i quit alcohol at the same time but i think coffee s impact on sleep is greater than alcohol!
I don't like coffee, and I see how it effects my mom and my sister, so I think I'm never gonna drink it. They are both so tired, unproductive, and rude when they don't have it at least once in a day. It's almost like an addiction. I don't want to be addicted to anything when I'm older so..
Its an addiction
I’m sure your addicted to social media though.

I don't like coffee but I have a baaad soda kick. Not just a caffine addiction, but probably a sugar addiction too. :P
Water 4 lyfe! #hydrohomies
I really only drink water
I quit drinking coffee on April 23rd of 2017. Best decision of my life. More energy, no stomach problems, better sleep. Never again.
@Жанна Винтина I also quit coffee it was starting to give me severe anxiety for some reason, all you have to do when with friends or family is switch out the drinks for example I drink different kinds of teas or juices.
for a good while i only drank caffeinated coffee in the morning and any other cups were decaff, you could buy a good brand decaff coffee if you think that'd be any help
I've had coffee twice in my life and I don't exactly get the craze for it

Yea I actually just started drink Apple cider K- Cups. AMAZING!!!!!
Doh !!!!
most herbal teas are not really teas and do not contain caffeine
i think the best benefit of quitting caffeine: First of all, one less thing your body is addicted too and the other point it, when you actually drink caffeine you actually get the benefits. On a different level than when you drink it every day

Why wasn't the "social aspect" the same? You can order tea and other beverages at any coffee shop, and still sit with your coffee drinking friends, no?
Probably only because they are so used to drinking coffee and are addicted...
Tea has caffeine
Jack Hagan not all tea
Yeah I don't get it. It's not like people will stop talking to you if you're at a cafe, like, just sitting down with your friends. It's so stupid lol
Yeah ikr. You can just get decaf if you have to be drinking something 😂
Quitting Coffee was the best decision .....my energy improved and I love that I am more in tuned with my own energy. Only thing how those coffee snobs look down upon you...”oh.. you don’t drink coffee?” ... trust me i used to be so addicted to all those tansy brewed coffee, it’s better for your health if you can minimize it.
this man is a genius. the pacing, the structure of the video so good man. when u watch the whole of his master youtube course and than watch his videos you can see what he teaches you like peeling back the onion, don't bury the lead, the importance of pacing , the way he uses music all of it. this guy is the goat

Worst thing addicted people say:
I can live without it but I just want it.
Eh, i'm addicted to caffeine. But there are far worse addictions to have. I'm ok with this one.
@@garrettk7166 I understand that but being addicted to something means it's (almost) impossible for you to live without it and that means you depend on something. I don't think that's a good thing.
Obviously coffee isn't that bad for you but I think it's better to be able to live without it.
@@garrettk7166 thats like saying im addicted to cocaine,but meth is way worse,so cocaine is fine
@@mariopsota5806 With respect i will say this is different though. Coffee is good for you and the other things you mentioned are not.
@@chrisnewtownnsw how is coffee good for you when you get headaches ( a symptom of withdrawal) when you stop drinking it regularly? I'm not saying you should stop drinking coffee but being in denial about it is probably not the healthiest thing to do
It's been 6 days since I drank any caffeine, I feel like NEW. Seriously, I feel like I haven't felt in ages. I don't think I'm coming back, at least not unless I forget this.
After I quit cocaine for 30 days I really learned how much I appreciate it and how nice it will be to go back to it.

As a tea drinker myself, I can tell you that its all in your head when you think that you are alone in a crowd full of coffee drinkers. You are not left out or anything. That's just your own imagination that is coming from fear of being left out. Its still the same.

@@patriotsecurityservices4639 yes. but pretty different crowds except people that drink both.
literally! as a tea drinker i've personally never felt left out of anything because of that, maybe it's different in the us but where i live tea is always offered as an option in coffee shops and everyone has it at home

After realizing my body’s dependency on caffeine, particularly coffee & occasional energy drinks ..

Imagine actually needing caffeine to function everyday, can’t relate
It’s ugly with every drug.
Ikr? I feel like my mom expects me to like coffee and even need it, just like her and my sister. They are so groggy, unproductive, and tired before they have a first cup. My mom normally has 2 a day to feel energized! Sometimes I think the reason they have so much trouble getting up is because of coffee.. And they deny it's an addiction.
Kiley's Life that’s definitely the reason, they feel bad because they are withdrawing from caffeine, the first cup gets their fix which is why they feel all better
I use cocaine instead

we care too much on the social aspect of coffee, as an italian myself coffee is part of our culture, everyone drinks it so we are really pressured to like it. I hate coffee, so everytime i go out with my friends to eat breakfast or simply to spend time with them everyone drink it but i never did, it never bothered me, i really like tea instead, i drink it often.
People need to be less influenced by the social life and what everyone does, simply drink something else if you don't want coffee.
Nice video matt, always the best.
There might be something wrong here.
I decided to quit coffee after a lifetime consumption. I realized I had plenty of headaches actually linked to stopping coffee (I tried several times), and figured out that if something was impacting my brain so much, there might be some negative effects. After 15 days I realized that it was much, much easier for me to get out of bed in the morning without coffee. My sleep was clearly deeper without coffee, with a better recovery. I felt more energized in the mornings but also during my days, with a much more stable energy level. After 2 months I felt globally more rested, with a higher level of mental clarity, with a clear positive impact on my work during my daily clients meetings. I tried this several times with different consumption levels (going from 4 cups a day to 0, 2 to 0, 1 to 0, experimenting over several months) : I was personally feeling the negative effects and impact on my sleep starting from 1 cup a day, this was a big surprise to me. I decided to quit. From time to time I still take one when I really need an energy boost, but I actually realized that it creates a vicious circle (the energy low after the first coffee makes you want another one), and I felt some effect on my health (my throat becomes "dry" and I actually got sick 2 times after starting again, after some times with no consumption at all). I am now trying to quit completely. People might have different tolerance levels, but I would advise anyone to experiment in this way and see what works for you.
If Matt did not feel any positive benefits, you can find plenty of other UA-camrs who actually felt a big positive impact when they stopped.
@gauthier how did you deal with the headaches? What did you replace it with?
@@sueannesorrentino8430 I had the same caffeine withdrawal after stopping drinking tons of tea each day. I would say exercise helped a bit with headache, and productivity will definitely dip down as your body adjusts.
Based on experience, it's similar of like nofap. There might have been some benefits of doing it, but for 30 days, I didn't feel much different or benefits from it. Just enjoy your coffee, don't drink it every day if you think you're going to get addicted. Like everything else, the benefits might be over exaggerated by others .
I had to reduce myself to a half cup in the morning, simply to avoid becoming overly agitated. I seem to be really sensitive to caffeine. I noticed i just wasn't waking up feeling fresh, so a few days ago i cut out the coffee completely. I had a 24hr horrible headache, but since then i've felt generally much calmer and well rested. Can't comment on the productivity because i've done this in a holiday period. I can't believe only half a cup of coffee in the morning was still affecting my sleep so many hours later. Caffeine is supposed to have left your system after around 6 hours...
There is nothing wrong here. I think we all have different bodies & how they react with certain habits/stuff.
Matt just shared his experience like you did yours. You both are right :)
Didn't read it but liked it
I never really dislike videos but come on this one was BS. You’re better than this Matt 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼💕💕💕 I’ve quit caffeine recently & it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 at first it’s difficult but the natural energy, no anxiety, no pollution in my brain, better sleep quality. I’m in heaven 🙌🏼💕
I recently quit coffee. It’s been challenging. I tend to be anxious and quitting has helped for sure. I miss drinking it but I feel it’s best for my mental health.
My morning coffee tastes so much better while watching this video. I might watch it everyday.
8:08... Matt's eyebrows twitch from that first caffeine rush since 30 days! Classic! :D
Watching this in 144p and still impressed by the quality.
What a great video on something important for many of us! Great content as always
Me: I’m drinking too much coffee
Also Me: Drinks coffee to think how to reduce daily cups coffee from 3 to 1...
I gave up caffeine several months ago... I hated the idea of ‘I need a tea to start my day, or wake up’
It’s freeing and I’m a much better morning person now :)
Also much more hydrated!!
How long did it take you to get over it? I tried to quit caffeine for 30 days but the withdrawal symptoms were still pretty bad.
Great! I never liked coffee (sorry to the coffee fan), for me it's the taste but I love tea and I quite all tea with caffeine last year and it was the best for me! I sleep so much better and I'm a bette morning person too! ;) It affects us more than we think! ;)
Sorry but i have to inform you that tea contains caffeine as well :)
@@boiboiboi1419 Not all tea does! black/white/green tea contains caffein but herb tea like mint tea does not contain any caffeine :)
@@boiboiboi1419You clearly didn't read the comment. They QUIT tea BECAUSE the type they were drinking was caffeinated and they wished to no longer depend on that outside energy boost.
I love how you have a cup of coffee before quitting
So glad to see you brought Baca in for the video! I've been watching him for a while.
Some interesting observations from someone who has rarely ever had any caffeine and dislikes coffee:
As someone who barely ever has had caffeine (and yes, it was insane when I did have some but has been extremely infrequent in my life), I've always noticed the short attention span of regular users. It's literally not worth working on a project with someone addicted to caffeine who doesn't have a cup in hand (or at least had their daily dose a bit prior). I truly mean those words. Obviously it's a spectrum and everyone falls on it in different places but the daily Starbucks-drive-in people I know are super inadequate when deprived of their zoom juice when compared to them on coffee. I get that it's kind of fun a cute to love and need something to function, but honestly that's the number one reason I still stay away. I don't want to have to buy liquid attention after getting too dependent. And I don't want to take any performance enhancer that over time lowers my original base-performance; which then in turn makes me more dependent...
I would pay a lot of money to know what a pot a day coffee lover would look like if they'd never had caffeine before in their life. What they'd say after their fist cup ever. Here's the questionably unethical experiment. Take identical twins and introduce one to coffee at a safe age and restrict the other from all caffeine. Then at different ages as time goes by, test them cognitively. Have the coffee drinker take tests with and without any caffeine. Maybe every few testing cycles have the abstinent one take some caffeine before a test to see how much their score is enhanced. Also take note of sleep quality, grades, self-rated happiness, and aging. Then I think we might finally get a scientific answer as to whether coffee is good or bad for you. Think about it, if the abstinent subject EVER scored better without caffeine than the other twin with caffeine then what does that mean? And for how many years are the benefits of the increased mental ability from caffeine actually beneficial? and at what cost to your base mental ability?
I've never liked the taste of coffee and everyone I talk to who does says, "at first you don't like it but eventually you grow to love the flavor" which I'm pretty sure has to do with cravings caused by addiction. Put caffeine in anything and people will grow to love it. Same with all drugs. Take smoking for example; smells bad, taste bad, burns a bit, first time users don't enjoy it but do like the rush; yet those addicted LOVE the experience and have extreme difficulty quitting. They miss the ritual and social aspects. Sound familiar? Obviously far more dangerous and likely more addictive but the same principle. So I believe you when you say, "I just love the flavor," or, "I only drink it for the flavor," because you do love the flavor, but realize that many people don't like the flavor at first which is just a tad suspicious to me on why you would think bean tea taste so delicious and becomes something you can't imagine life without. (Just a joke tea Connoisseurs, please don't hurt me)
Also, in case your curious, I'd self rate my own attention span extremely high, though if we're being honest UA-cam does take it's toll on me. Still, when I've got a big machine learning project I'm able to code for like 5 straight hours of non-stop, high quality, uninterrupted and productive work, with no food or sugar required. Feels focused and not like I'm punishing myself or miserable from the work. Easily my best super power. Also recharging my brain, while not as fast as a cup of jo, is usually as easy as a 30 minute walk and then I'm primed for another couple hours. Wouldn't trade that - for a drink I don't love (but would eventually grow to love if consumed a few times) with the promise of a dependency and cravings so bad they'll cause headaches if missed - any day.
I fully understand that your love is deep and your love is real (talking to coffee drinkers) and you wouldn't want to know anything different, but as someone who's never had that love, it does seem a little unappetizing... And a little one sided. I mean, for your first few cups you might not even really like it. Just my two cents as someone who over-worries a dependency lowers the quality and abilities of my base-state self.
P.S. wouldn't be offended if people who find this interesting like it so others will see, I feel like I'm quite the minority in this comment section.
Watch "three identical twins", this experiment is not "a bit" unethical.
Hey,
I totally agree with you. I did not want to drink coffee for a long time for the same reasons as you. Then I "needed" it because of exams. Then because of super long days. Then schoolwork. Then workdays. Then regular days. And now only for existing on a non-sloth level.
And gosh, you are so right, I grew to like the taste! I even stopped putting sugar in it, hoping I would drink less if it tasted terrible again. Guess what, I love it without sugar too now. Reading your comment, I was angry with you for being so right about my weakness. I love Matt but he didn't challenge me this time. You did. Thanks for the constructive comment.
Forget about the twin experiment though! :D
Oh, I’m feeling pretty special now.
I drink coffee maximum twice a year, because I really love the taste, but it makes me feel very bad (stomachache, increased heartbeat, headache and sometimes anxiety, even a panic attack once).
The rare times when I drink it I think that tastes so good but after half an hour I’m starting feeling sick and I regret it, remembering why I don’t drink coffee.
Can’t imagine how people can drink more than one cup of coffee a day.
I drink coffee regularly but I still think that you are right. I would really like to break free from that stuff. I tried it for 30 days once but it was such a struggle. Caffeine-addiction is very real, I think. The "getting-used-to-the-flavour-aspect" is also very true.
Coffee is definetly overrated, it has become a culture, people join the new trend to feel like they belong
"I quit going outside for 30 days"
Oops already did this
You were truly ahead of your time :P
@@LachlanJP81 so true
I gave up coffee just after Christmas 2019. It's been hard as I have been driving for over 15 years. I love taste of coffee but since I quit coffee my sleep improved dramatically. I also get up a lot easily and my headaches are gone. I'm done not drinking coffee again and I'm actually proud of this nas wasn't expecting how easy that was. I would definitely recommend at least to try the challenge and quit for 30 days. I only discovered your channel today and will definitely try meditation very soon.
Thanks
When he said he hasn’t missed a day I felt that so much!! I’ve been drinking coffee for 15 years everyday. I’m on day 3 of quitting and the headache is coming in strong now..😫
How is it going now? Hope you are doing well! :)
@@Witchyrose2349 thank you 😊. I’m doing ok. Still caffeine free. I think caffeine really was doing a number on me. It was increasing my appetite and causing my skin to dehydrate faster. But since i stopped I’ve been drinking more water and realized how addictive caffeine is. There are so many people that use this stuff daily. It’s everywhere you look. Like people believe they can’t live or function without it. The marketing team for caffeine brands have done a number on us 😔
Matt, you've been such a huge inspiration for all of us out here. Pushing us to better ourselves. Keep it up! 🔥
*Lucky me, I dont take coffee. But I want to quit taking sugary things. I try not to buy it but my husband does sometimes and he's disciplined so he doesnt have the addiction problem.I'm trying and I'll continue to try*
na so
It's not so called discipline when you enjoy eating healthy
Addiction to sugar sometimes signifies a protein deficiency. Eat lots of proteins & make yourself eat/drink your greens. You can do it🌿
I quit coffee too. Feel great. So calm and relaxed. Now I see what effect coffee had on me. Was always kind of nervous and it really affected my mood in a negative way. No more.
I also quit coffee and I had all the symptoms that you went through, such as thrubbing, headache, craving, and so on. Now, I am happy that I finally quit coffee for many reasons. One of them is that I can keep my energy level stable. Also, my headache's gone away.
As someone who almost never drinks coffee, I don't understand how you can feel dislodged from your social surroundings, if you don't have a cup of coffee.
I don't ever have problems with a glass of water etc when I'm with my family or friends who are heavy coffee drinkers.
Could someone enlighten me?
Don't know either. I don't drink coffe at all. I never liked it. It stinks for me. 27 years without coffe and i'm good. I always drink just water or some fruit juice and that's all. It is just a pathetic addiction.
It was just a (bad) point made to lengthen the video's time as quitting coffee doesn't have many drawbacks. Yes you get the caffeine withdrawal headache for a day or two but after that there's not much else. I would argue the guy on a cup of coffee a day for the last twenty years even feels the effects and it more placebo than anything.
I think this video was some elaborate hoax to promote that coffee brand. Probably that guy sponsored this video.
For me it was having a cup because it made me look normal and therefore not nervous. I smoked a lot of weed, so I was always high ( I know I didn’t have a caffeine problem, I had a weed problem.) but while being high I was nervous that people at work would know, which they probably did; but having something around my hands and face made me feel secure in social settings.
I think it partially has to do with his job, he wasn’t able to partake in perhaps team rituals. I know just when I was trying to save money I wouldn’t go to Starbucks with my team during the daily 3pm ritual and it made me feel a bit left out, but of course that was my own decision.
No one:
Not a single soul:
Matt: "I quit moving for 30 days"
Why do I want to see this so bad? XD
Great video love the beginning lol 😂
This can also be called "Documenting a socially acceptable addiction relapse"!
Chocolate has caffeine?
oh thats probably why i cant sleep until 3 am
Coffee for me represents such a positive experience in culture, it’s an ancient practice and has been spread globally. Ive found having it in moderation will eliminate all of the negative symptoms you described.
You can drink tea if you don't want to consume as much caffeine. America should adopt tea culture like other countries such as Turkey, India, Britain, China and Japan.
not really, coffee is highly acidic and addictive (obviously) just like sugar its kinda like legal drug.
@@soultrekcentral the acidity and caffeine is dependent on how it's made, the addictiveness also depends on your consumption and dependency on it.
GreyFolk I buy my favorite green tea and matcha from Japan, I love having a cup in the evening.
Soul Trek Ventures I love coffee *because* of the acidity. I tried a low acid healthier coffee and it totally lost its appeal to me. Anything can be addictive, enjoying your life in moderation isn’t addiction.
Hardest part of quitting smoking was the social aspect you'll lose.
You can still go out with coworkers who smoke. I did that and feels alright.
Quit my coffee addiction 40 years ago due to bladder problems. I still love the smell, but more love that my body wakes up on its own, works steadily, and knows when to rest and sleep.
Matt D'Avella: I stopped using my phone for 30 days (Tough challenge)
Quitting most social media for 30 days
MischievousMoo just knocked that one out 🤙🏽
Centauri A he already made a video where he quit social media for 30 days!
Centauri Another challenge I couldn’t do.

Matt D'Avella: I quit showering for 30 days.
I had mild urinary incontinence for a few years and both me and my doctor could't figure out why... Decided to give up caffeine and within days the incontinence stopped, my sleep improved, my anxiety dropped and my skin looked less flushed. Absolutely worth giving up if you can bear the withdrawal symptoms.
I got a uti as well from drinking coffee every morning
And also drinking BEER!! Omg i didnt realize what i was doing to my bladder
All that acidity and yeast are no bueno
