Yeah, I think I'm coming up on my third cycle.

I caught your caffeine post to Shannon this morning before you deleted it. You said it actually helped you. And I'm also remembering your update in Shannon's journal saying it was an attempt to jump off or derail DMSI. What's your take on caffeine use presently?
I'm seeing I've used caffeine for over 6 years, and it increased steadily. But some guys have lost interest in it while using DMSI, and I'm wondering "could I do this?"
Lastly, if I remember correctly, I think I saw you reply to someone weeks back saying it helped you with sub execution by pulling off caffeine. Was this you? If not, nevermind.
Caffeine derails dmsi. It felt like I was executing better, but it was just more like my conscious mind got the upper hand control wise. Either it boosted my ability to resist through conscious means or it cut off that influence from the subconscious. Almost like caffeine destroys the metaphorical bridge between the two. I don't drink caffeine routinely. Occasionally I'll have a cup of coffee here and there but I definitely notice it throws off everything. I've been off caffeine for a while now. Having a history of depression and anxiety I recognized it only made those worse in me, so it was a no brainer. I also don't like being dependent on a substance to get through the day.
Yeah I think that was Ben's journal. It's hard to describe because I'm very in tune with my states of being. But caffeine ruins that ability to shift into what dmsi is attempting. It's a bit like jamming up the gear shift in a car and getting stuck in one gear.
