How to handle withdrawal

I'm a 23 year old loser who's heavily addicted to porn, and have been addicted to porn ever since I was a child because I was raised by alcoholics, now ex-alcoholics, my two parents lost two children to different causes, I am the last one left alive but I'm a total autist so basically my parents lost their only two children.

When they started drinking, I, much like I am now, had no one to talk to or hang out with, no PC to play on (I was a console peasant, I spent most of my time playing inFAMOUS and The Bourne Conspiracy on my PS3) so I turned to pornography and masturbation to cope with my absolute hell of a life.

Almost everyday since then, I have done nothing with my life up until now but masturbate and masturbate and masturbate.

When I turned 18, I discovered nootropics and stimulants, I researched neurology on my own freetime using my little smartphone paid for by my chain smoking alcoholic dad (whom still smokes like a chimney to this day, his lungs are healthier than mine somehow, possibly because he's not inhaling the excessive cum fumes that I ejaculate on a daily basis) I discovered neurotrophins and neurogenesis, familiarized myself with neurons, and the structure of neurons, I forgot most of what I learned though, because of my decayed lump of a brain, because of porn addiction.

I started working out at 18 to fix my problems, nothing changed, I did only leg day, my workouts were extremely half assed and inconsistent, and now, at 23, all I have to show for 5 years of "hard work" is these barely noticeable muscles on my thighs, and no where else.

I don't have a job, I am still a virgin, I still live with my folks whom no longer drink but whenever I bring up how much they ruined my life with their alcoholism, they act like it never happened, and that it wasn't even that big of a deal when they act like it did indeed happen.

But that's my backstory just so I can ensure I've won the "woe is me" Olympics... this post is about caffeine...

So, my main question is how you guys handle caffeine withdrawal.

I'm trying to lose my tolerance to caffeine, how do I tough out the withdrawal?

Everyday I try to quit caffeine, like I try to drop my porn addiction cold turkey, and it fails, my tolerance is so high that not even 600-1000MG gives me anything anymore, is there an alternative stimulant I can use while I lose my tolerance to caffeine, any method for better self control?

What do I do?

Don't have any caffeine around you. That's rule #1 of getting over any addiction. Dump out all your energy drinks and coffee. It's easier to resist going to the store than to drink something you already have

Fuck you for starting a decent question that I want an answer to, "how to not be addicted to caffeine", with a life story no-one's going to read.

Asshole

I'm not OP, but there's a shop literally on my way to the gym. It's really convenient for me to get caffeine before gym, then justify it with "it's pre-workout, brah."

Run in front of your parents with a shotgun to your head and shout TRIFECTA YOU BETCHYA or THIRD TIME IS A CHARM and pull the trigger

I don’t really care about your drug or porn addiction the fact that your parents lost 2 kids is hilarious if they lost a third it would be even funnier

I'm the guy who called you an asshole, I'm am not this guy Fuck this guy

>taking Any Forums this seriously

You blame your parents for your problems. Take responsibility

Cry about it faggot.

They might just lose a third one, I'm too broke to afford to eat a healthy diet, and too lazy to exercise and work, so I think that I'm gonna kill myself soon, I'll try to do something positive one last time before I go out, like donate to a charity or something, maybe go and volunteer in some homeless shelter or soup kitchen, so that I can leave a positive impression on this Earth, if I meet my soulmate during my volunteering, then I'll keep living but otherwise, I think it's time for me to go, I have not enjoyed my life here.

Very difficult to do when you have no assets or resources.

maybe quit pornography first?

>is there an alternative stimulant
you will just get addicted to those as well which you seem to be wanting to avoid
but if you are truly desperate for some small and fleeting relief from crippling fatigue, look into ephedrine and vaping nicotine
you will build tolerance to the stimulant effects of both eventually

Sounds like you just keep making excuses and what you really want is to be a miserable failure. You’ll never kill yourself. You’re too big of a narcissist and a coward. Enjoy your video games and tumultuous relationships

I was suggested teacrine in a thread not too long ago as an alternative to caffeine as well, regarding nicotine, I'm thinking of purchasing gum at a petrol station, nicotine gum seems to be as potent as ciggarettes but you just have to be patient.

Ephedrine I am new to though, and will need to do some more research on it.

Stimulants really are the only thing keeping me from hanging myself in my closet, that and the fact that the neighborhood I live in has a bunch of children in it, it's in the suburbs and I really don't want to cause them any kind of mental discomfort.

because u havent gotten yourself a fucking job and because you choose to lay around all day and cry about it instead of just putting in the work. everyday put in an application for somewhere until some poor fuck doesnt notice how pitiful you are and hires you then work out whether you fucking want to or not and just try to eat somewhat healthy with whatever you are given. if there is a will there is a way. so you can lie down and keep crying about everything or just do what needs to be done and stfu. suffer in silence or just kys. no body fucking cares.

Maybe you're right, and if I never kill myself, I guess that's a good thing, somewhere down the line I'll eventually get lucky and leave my rut, perhaps I'll even find a woman, but otherwise I guess I'll just keep suffering, you should stay on topic and answer my stimulants question.

Here’s what I don’t get about depressed people. Why don’t you just stop being depressed? That’s what I do.

I don't care that no one else cares enough to lose sleep over it, I'm just throwing it out there and measuring my dick somewhat.

The original reason for my post is just to find methods and tactics to tough out or handle withdrawal symptoms for caffeine, so I can reset my tolerance and be productive again.

Yes, I take caffeine to battle my depression, if even there ever were any, but recently I've grown tolerant to it and am seeking ways to tough out the withdrawal symptoms.

if you live in the states the only way to get ephedrine is OTC Bronkaid
there are laws limiting how much you can buy but you can take 25mg twice a day and stay within the legal limit, and 25mg 2-3 is the safe recommended dose
nicotine, I started with gum as well and then switched to vapes, the stimulant and anxiolytic effects lasted about 6 months
if you go that route try to do something productive with your life to milk the effects while they last
it's not that hard to quit either if you use the cheat code of marijuana or cbd vapes and have a period of 2 weeks where you can bear to have reduced cognitive functioning

i'd try dark chocolate

Your issue is you are trying to replace one addiction with another. You don’t realize it but you probably learned this from your parents. Your dad replaced alcohol with Marlboros. It’s all you know.

I would probably keep the porn addiction for now. It’s hard to kick multiple habits at once. I quit energy drinks one year, and this year I quit smoking. Next year I’ll kick late night snacks.

I would also find another cheap hobby to occupy your time. Hunting, fishing, all you need to fish is a canoe and a pole, a 23 year old should be able to save up 1000$. I would apply anywhere and everywhere. Even working for a month will net you 1000$. Your parents will never kick you out because you’re all they have left, and will never challenge you to push yourself out of fear they’ll push you too far and you’ll leave or KYS. So you have to do it on your own with baby steps. You can also start running marathons. Runners high is real. I don’t know. I tend to go down rabbit holes with my addictions for months at a time. I also started to acquire knowledge online and get 283 internet doctorates. I’m smart as fuck. Must. Acquire. Knowledge.

Just throwing out ideas and my thoughts dude. I don’t know how to help you I’ve never met you IRL for all I know this is a big larp and I just wasted my time

they probably were shit parents but now you're the only one that can fix it, if you keep blaming them you'll never move forward. Start by getting a job.

I'm in Canada, not sure what the stimulant laws here are on Ephedrine but I'll check 'em out, with nicotine, I'll start with gum and take it maybe like... once every week just to make resetting my tolerance to caffeine just that little bit easier, that's what I did with Phenibut and Noopept, took 'em both only once every week, they're pretty good as nootropics and not as stimulants though.

Dark chocolate contains theobromine, and while I've been trying to get a hold of theobromine for a while now, I have not been able to do so successfully.

Theobromine pills simply don't exist in my city, which is a shame, but luckily, caffeine pills do, and I've loved them for a while now, total life savers when your tolly is low.

ITT: make OP relapse.
I'll start with some fresh facts from Sticky Ricky.

I will definitely consider applying to more jobs, I hear Indeed.com is a good method to do that.

I've relapsed plenty without anyones' help.

>I'll start with gum and take it maybe like... once every week just to make resetting my tolerance to caffeine
no no no do not do that
you WILL get addicted, do not start using unless you understand and accept that
start with ephedrine if you just want a stimulant to substitute caffeine for

>Dark chocolate contains theobromine, and while I've been trying to get a hold of theobromine for a while now, I have not been able to do so successfully.
it's on amazon! otherwise just get cocoa powder

Okay, I understand, but I wonder, are you really saying once a week is too often?

That's like... 168 hours with one dose of nicotine in between, surely 168 hours is more than enough time to fully reset your tolerance to anything, let alone Nicky.

Oh shit apparently it takes months.
