DAY 1: Coffee-Free
Why Am I Doing This?
I want to know the effects of coffee/caffeine on my body. I am not sure if 30 days is long enough but I’ll give it a go. I want to know if it helps me or if I feel better without coffee. I also want to know if it does affect my sleep at night.
The Rules
- No coffees, lattes, frappuccinos, or any coffee-type drink (caffeinated or decaffeinated). Basically, everything on the Starbucks menu, except for the teas.
- Teas are allowed but only the decaffeinated ones.
DAY 1
So, today kicked off my 30 Days of Coffee-Free living. It was difficult. Church without coffee just doesn’t seem like church. Also, I got headaches all throughout the day, until I took a 2-hour nap. Then I felt much better. It’s close to midnight now and I feel tired and sleepy. I definitely feel like I’m going through withdrawal.
How will tomorrow feel?
Thanks for reading.

Brother, you are stronger than I am. And you seem to have precisely the wrong name to be giving up coffee. It just seems odd to have the entry signed off with “I definitely feel like I’m going through withdrawl…. Joe.”
Best of luck. I’ll double my intake for your sake.
