Yes, I too am addicted to caffeine. I like that you've started this caffeine recovery thread....good idea!
Back at the start of my teaching year last fall, I was anticipating how I keep a cup of coffee with me at all times, just to keep going with the middle schoolers. So, before school started, I went cold turkey and rid myself of all caffeine. Yes, I had terrible headaches for several days, but then they went away. I know, I know, one can wean oneself away from it, but I've never been very good at that. Anyway, I did go caffeine free for several months, and I actually found I had more energy than when I was on caffeine.
At some point during the school year, I began drinking the regular coffee again, and I'm back in the same caffiene rut. I doubt I can change this till the school year ends in a couple of months. But it's a good idea, and I hope to do the weaning this time, maybe starting this week.
