I'll drink to your success, Neub!
FatAss! Just kiddin man. I have changed things to no avail also. So I just went back to what I was doing.
There's no substitution for exercise. You were likely eating more unconciously b/c that volume in your guts wasn't occupied by alcohol. Even if you weren't it's a volume that forces other shit out literally. Why caffeine though?
Best to limit alch consumption, if you're able. Can't argue with the health benefits of not regularly drinking poison.
I've found when I stop doing something habitual, I often substitute it with something else, like food for example. I know you said you haven't changed your diet, but perhaps you have started to eat a bit more now that you've stopped your habits of drinking alch and/or coffee/whatever you drank for caffine.
Coffee in particular is very good at suppressing hunger, so if that's one of the things your stopped, it may have lead to you eating a bit more.
Just my experience. I know nothing about your lifestyle/habits.
Instead of caffeine, maybe try low doses of kratom. I hear it lasts longer, no jitters, and there's no withdrawal. Apparently 3g doses of niacin (NOT niacinamide), every night before bed, will do fun things to your body that will re-balance your brain chemistry and make you more content being sober. People that quit drinking for years but never felt better, apparently do so once they do the niacin thing. Hell, I did it and can attest that the cravings almost completely went away. I still drink regularly, but try to make sure I always replenish B/K/C vitamins, and also take Maca root extract/korean red ginseng/fish oil pills daily.
What can I say? I feel generally about the same, but these days tend to have more good days than bad days (mental clarity, fatigue, etc). Which, hey: I'll take it. Better than what it was before.
Kratom is great. I’ve been taking around 4-6 teaspoons a day for a while now. It’s almost the perfect supplement. I like to wash my kratom down with a coffee in the morning so I get the initial caffeine kick followed by the kratom boost about 30-45 minutes later. It helps make work breeze by.
I've heard this from a lot of people. While excessive drinking can damage your health, and social situation, I have known a few people who quit drinking and have told me literally nothing changed.
I honestly think it is more productive to improve your virtues than it is to diminish your vices.
Weight lifting and intense cardio are pretty much the only things that works for me.
Ha! Sucker.
Next you'll be trying no-fap. Muahahahahaha
You make your own reality. Whatever works, dude.
Shouldn't this be posted to ?
