    Same for me. I had a whole caffeine cycle going on. Once I quit...I sleep better. I stay awake through the day better. My attention seems better. I'm done with the caffeine.

    It feels great to break that addiction...doesn't it? It does for me!

    You're right, it is an addiction. I'm glad I stopped and I'm saving money. I was a sugar and carb addict, too. And alcoholism runs in my family. 5 out of 7 in my family are or were alcoholics and substance abusers - three of them are dead (two died in their twenties). That is one very big reason why I am following my team's rules about no alcohol for one year. I have always had to be super careful to limit my alcohol. I've seen what it can do.

    Sorry for my mini rant. :-)
