Ive been thinking of going caffeine and alcohol free for a while. Alcohol wouldnt be an issue but I really love coffee.

      Thanks. I kicked sugary drinks with the caffeine in '15. But still have a hard time with it in general. I will go months with none, then I get an urge for something and before I know it I am Augustus Gloop.

        To be fair, that one is a totally natural urge, and it isn’t unhealthy on its own. We crave it because it gives us energy. It’s great for a survival instinct. The issue is we have far too easy access to sugar now, where we trivially get an unhealthy amount. It’s hard to fight biological instinct. It’s like trying to drown yourself. Your body will fight back before you succeed. Luckily our craving for sugar is something that we can attempt to control.
