First hurtle was to stop drinking coffee and Diet Cherry Coke (My love) – I’m currently in nursing school and have two small children, really Caffeine was the only thing keeping me going or so I thought! I’m not going to lie; the first few days almost killed me. One night I almost had my husband take me to the Emergency Room because I was having a migraine that seemed like my head was going to explode. People asked me “Why don’t you just ease yourself off?” Well because with me it was all or nothing. Did I want a headache for 3 days or prolonged over weeks. Happy to say that a little over 1 month later I haven’t drank anything but Organic Green Tea & that refreshing good for you stuff called water! So besides school why did I decide to stop the morning cup of Joe? I was having headaches, digestive problems, fatigue, and massive anxiety and I was hoping it would go away. Could those symptoms have easily been linked to the stress of college? Maybe but within a week of stopping caffeine, 2 weeks before finals and I was able to focus much better with no anxiousness of the looming tests.
Decide for yourself: if you need it, give it up!
