k, i've begun the final solution.
A. quit coffee & all caffeine first.
B. once acclimated, start  nicotine detox.

i know this is my only hope.
unfortunately i am an uber addict on all fronts.
i know this.
so, its gotta be the caffeine first.
don't ask me why, it just does.
i'm going to have to detox with my one cup for the next few mornings til i adjust, then cold turkey.
most substances i need about 4 days to clear a level of dosage.

holy shit do i have a migrain comin' on. :-o :frustrated:

that's the point. i'm a crackhead and it is destroying my health. i honestly would go to a rehab for just caffeine and nicotine if i could afford it. no lie.

I feel ya, dude. I honestly probably need some kind of program/rehab to quit dipping and drinking coffee

i'm not your typical coffee drinker or cigarette smoker
it all depends on if you can't manage your life because of what you choose to put in your body.
unfortunately i have been living the last 500 days in a row with excruciating pain 24/7 in my spine and nerves.
i'm such an addict that i still do things that  i can physically feel hurting me as i do them.

it will be interesting to see how things are going on day 14. That's usually about my time frame. I always feel great for a few days after i decide to stop smoking, but I always come crawling back. Can't say the same for my drinking.
Keep us updated.

honestly i'm trying to not even think about the smoking right now. just figured i could use this thread for the caffeine too. FWIW, i don't expect anybody to care, it jus helps me to talk about it.

Talk it up.
I gave up habitual caffeine use in January of 2010 and it was tough. With that I began drinking a ton more water which, I feel, greatly improved my health.

6 months or so ago, I started drinking coffee daily again. My health has declined and I hate it.
As of today, caffeine is out.

Slim, you're an inspiration to us all.

How much coffee are we talking 'cause I can't see how a cup or 2 a day has any negative impact on your health.  Now if it is triggering your smoking, than that is more problematic.

I have slipped up a couple of times since quitting smoking but am still determined to lick this.

i could go into details but they are rather disgusting. just trust me, its a miracle i'm even alive as i type, and caffeine is detrimental to my multiple conditions. i am in no way saying a normal healthy person should necessarily be negatively impacted by caffeine.

I hear ya Slim, +K for giving it up then.  Sounds like your body has been telling you to for awhile.
