I won't be giving up caffeine. I don't see the point. It doesn't hinder me, I don't need it to function and it's cheaper than meth.
I don't get the withdrawal issues either.

I've gone caffeine free for over a week a couple of times so far this year, either due to other things getting in the way of my morning coffee, norovirus, a cold, whatever. I generally don't drink coffee when my stomach doesn't feel good, and so when I had noro, I didn't drink any for a week, nor did I drink any Diet Pepsi. To bring my electrolytes back into balance, I went for a week drinking water, 7Up/Sprite, and Pedialyte (blech).

It also doesn't seem to affect my sleep in the same way it does for other people. I can drink a Diet Pepsi at 8pm and go to bed at 10 without a problem.

I blame my dad. He can have a cup of coffee and then go take a nap. It's bizarre.

Good luck with your latest attempt, Baraka. I am certainly grateful that caffeine doesn't bug me the way it seems to bug you
