I quit drinking caffeine. Mostly. After a good long while spent going back and forth sinc e a bit of self realization last August, I've cut my consumption per day down to one coffee, one Coke, and the occasional green tea. This down from what roughly rounds out to "whatever I can get my hands on, oh my god give it give it give it", or the number equivelient there of. I don't know math.

The (mostly) kicking of caffeine wasn't so much for health reasons as plain ol' frustration - the amount of caffeine I had to drink to keep from getting head aches (due, of course, to not having enough caffeine) was leaving me strung out and exhausted way, way to early in the day for me to actually function for any real length of time. It took two pissy weeks of feeling physically sick and irritated at every living thing all the time, but being able to function on demand ever since has proven more than worth it. If there are any permanent side effects from the drastic change in chemical intake I haven't noticed, other othan the odd comfort of being reintroduced to my body chemistry and feeling like I ate too much maple syrup if I have more than a couple cokes a day.
