365 days free of caffeine! This past year I have definitely been more tired than when I had caffeine coursing through my veins, but I am a happier person now. I am sleeping better, not necessarily any more, just better than in previous years. Not going back to caffeine anytime soon. Thanx for all the support

Bravo Frank!!

I've been 2 months without caffeine.  I'm doing bariatric surgery in February and my doc recommended cutting it out of my diet, so no more caffeinated coffee and I also dropped all soda pop.  Down 23 lbs so far.

That's awesome brother. I haven't dropped any weight because of this, but I was on diet soda before I stopped. @chris2alaska You should come join us in either the soda quit or caffeine quit threads in Non dipping discussion, getting my act together

Nice Job!

828/339 118 weeks of quit

Turned 50 last month, so Monday was my first colonoscopy.
Cant imagine caring enough to get that done if I was still using nicotine
Got the results back today on a polyp they removed. All clear, non-malignant, so I got that going for me
Just another 5 years till I have to do it all over again
I guess the point being, now that I have quit nicotine, and then caffeine, I am working on improving my overall health.
Daily vitamins, regular doctor visits, regular dental checkups, now the colonoscopy: all things that I did not give a shit about when I knew I was killing myself slowly with nicotine.
Don't make quitting nicotine the end of your journey to improve your life. Become the man or woman you have always wanted to be.
Enough preaching, I am just happy to be a part of this community that has helped and supported me for 828 days now.
Thank you all!

Well, so we now have that in common too!  My nurse was so sweet...she sang the hokie-pokie for me as I was going out.

@Athan , that's pretty good. The doc told me to roll up on my side, the nurse(?) Said she was going to start the anesthesia, I adjusted my head and I woke up in the recovery room. Never heard a word after start the anesthesia. I'd like to think it's much better that way.

Totally get where you are coming from. I’m 53 and figure doing the right things now will hopefully add dividends later.

Old folks.....

@69franx Well at least you were a whole lot smarter than me and quit years before you turned 50...I turned 50 in September and did not quit until October 1st.  I am proud to be quit with you today.

So October 2019 had a surprise guest yesterday who had been away from the site since 2010. @quit_to_win posted day 4032 and got everyone excited. Went to check out his history and found this gem from the earliest stages of January 2009, not from him, but still good:

"QuittinTime's 4 Step Program: (It's worked so far.)

Step 1: Take that can of copenskodihuskgrizzletimbrshit and open the lid, and dump that shit down the big round white thingy in the the little room in your house, pull the handle on the big round white thingy and watch it spin into oblivion, then tap the can several times to get out all the flakes and flush again, then one more time to get the shit off the rim.

Step 2: Take that empty can of copenskodihuskgrizzletimbrshit outside away from anything flammable and throw it on the ground, stomp the living dog shit out of it, pour some lighter fluid, gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, or some other flammable liquid onto the can. Stand back about 6 to 8 feet and toss a match into the fucker and watch it burn........burn baby burn! Do a dance around the worthless son of a bitch. When the flames die down, stomp the shit of the metal lid (if applicable).

Step 3: Bury the remains..........say a few words if you wish.

Step 4: DO NOT BUY, BUM, STEAL, OR GO NEAR THAT SHIT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JUST LIKE YOUR MAMA TOLD YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE.  "
