Does anyone feel like reaching for the bottle after taking caffeine? recently noticed a craving for a beer (but nothing stronger than that) after a nice cup of tea or a good brew of coffee. The small rush you get from the caffeine and feeling good makes my brain feel like going down the pub for a few drinks, but not wanting to get off my face blind drunk or anything.

Coffee just makes me want more coffee!“Outside of a dog a book is man’s best friend. Inside of a dog it’s too dark to read”Comment

I can kinda see some logic Scotty. Strong coffee is a stimulant - so possibly coming down from it makes you think what's the next legal 'high' I can get?Originally posted by scotskev81 View PostLast edited by satz123; August 13, 2020, 07:06 AM.Comment

it's only while the high lasts I feel like that, or when the high first starts.Originally posted by satz123 View PostComment

Yes I get that - then it's you thinking ahead of ways to keep the 'high' going.Originally posted by scotskev81 View Post
Example :
As you may know - I do not drink
but ....
I had 2 bars of chocolate in the fridge tonight.
I decided to have one with a cuppa tea - two bites in while I was STILL eating the first one - I was thinking I'll have the other one too when I'm finished this.
I waited, made a phone call & the craving passed.Comment

So you've recognised it as a trigger.Originally posted by scotskev81 View Post
Remove or train yourself to diffuse all triggers if you are serious about not drinking.
One way - have a biscuit (cookie) with the coffee/tea.?Comment
