Steve, you're not the only one who, after abuse of caffeine, has found a better mental state without it.
I listened to Navy Seals vets who have completely quit caffeine, after drinking one can after another of Red Bull during operations. Evidently, they noticed some definitely detrimental effects, maybe on the verge of toxicity.

Bottomline, I find your determination commendable.

Thanks mccoy. i will have to see how it goes. So far i have noticed a desire to eat more and though hot chocolate does not have caffeine in it i believe it is another type of stimulant that i crave. Maybe recently as a surrogate for abstaining from caffeine.

Anyway it’s not easy giving up unwanted desire but I’m slowly getting more detached from some I’ve been working on and praying about; for help to realize what has to go.
