I used to drink 4-5 Mountain Dews a day for the caffine kick they packed. Now I don’t drink much caffine, my tolerance is much lower so the occasional coke can keep me up all night!

I weened myself off of coffee a few years back, but several months ago I started back up. Before I knew it, it was a daily habit yet again. You’ve just motivated me to kick the caffeine habit once more!

I usually limit myself to one caffeinated beverage a week, but I hit the diet soda pretty hard the past couple of weeks while getting by on little sleep trying to get my thesis done. I figured I’d get back to my normal habits this weekend since the deadline for getting the thesis to my committee was yesterday. Then the vending machine ate my quarters yesterday and I wasn’t desperate enough to drink lab coffee so I gave up caffeine early and did my final revisions in a headachy fog.

Congratulations on kicking the habit.

I used to enjoy it too. But it eventually became nothing more than a necessary evil. Life sucked with it, and sucked even more without it. Like I said, unlike previous tries, this time I haven’t missed it one bit. I guess I was just ready for a change.

Wow! Life without caffeine? Is that even possible?

That is something I have thought about from time to time, but I just enjoy the stuff too much. I do try to cut back though, making about half as much coffee as I used to when I brew my own and ordering medium sized cups instead of large when I go out for coffee.

Anyway, I commend you for your efforts and best of luck.

Wow, congratulations on kicking the caffeine habit. It’s currently a monkey on my back, despite a few earlier attempts to cut back. I rationalize that since I drink diet pop the calories don’t matter, and, after all, a pop habit is a lot better than nicotine or alcohol. Either way, congratulations is in order for your success !
