I've been waking up with the caffeine headaches before I even have the first cup done. I'm in this year but I know the first two days are going to be miserable! T-16 hours here.

Day 5, first day without headaches. Woke up an hour earlier (5:30!) without the cat's help and was _awake_. One does not a sample size make so let's see if the trend continues. Watuary was a great idea, thanks Echi!

Too shy for social media pics though, there's too much face-scraping AI bs nowadays.

I have already started the caffeine detox a bit early this year (ugh). Rubios tea in the mornings because I love a hot drink to wake up with, but Watuary 2022 is looking good.

Caffeine addiction is fully broken. I'm still enjoying Roobios and hot cocoa this month, then nothing but water in earnest to bring in the new year. December is a nice way to get into the groove.

I’ve settled on “is it intended as a meal?” as the defining question for watuary, since we got a vitamix for Christmas and I’m going to be trying smoothie versions of some breakfast fruit bowls that I’ve gotten sick of

This seems reasonable. I had cereal with milk this morning and do not consider it a violation of the rules.

I've come up with a compromise for Watuary this year; I'll cut the coffee and go for _a single cup_ of plain black tea. This drops my caffeine from ~500mg / day down to around 75mg / day. That should stave off the headaches but let me bring down my tolerance. Maybe in a week I can start halving it again.

I'll definitely quit the energy drinks, milk, and eggnog.

Watuary. :getin:

watuary is going well so far.

i already feel better and its only been 3 days.

no monster ultra sunrise or coffee for me.

Wish I could say the same, my tea strategy failed. The caffeine headaches have hit in earnest and nothing is stopping them now. Just gotta wait it out and drink more water. Feels like a giant vice compressing my head right behind my eyeballs.

I wouldn’t necessarily trust my bodies sense of thirst or lack thereof

you ever meet those people who it’s like 5pm and they’ve had two coffees and nothing else all day? they only drink when they’re thirsty

Been consistent with half a gallon a day. This is like 1.5 quarts more fluid than I normally drink. I don't want to push for a gallon a day right now cause I'm already craving salt and don't want to get hydrophobia or whatever it is.

My kidneys are so happy right now, and today I broke the caffeine headache streak. 7 days this time, so at least I know how long a detox still takes.
