I'd thought it would be interesting to share our stories on caffeine. :coffe:

How much do you have a day and what form? Do you feel addicted to it? How much is too much? :sleepy:

For me I have green tea everyday, as well as 1-2 cups of coffee.

I try not to be addicted to it but can feel it when I go without for a few days.

I have caffeine in my ECS stack, usually on the weekends when I don't take anything I get minor headaches.

I drink 12-18 8oz cups of black coffee a day. Sometimes a pinch more. I'm definitely addicted, and get splitting headaches without it. Everytime I try to quit and go through withdrawals I end up flipping out and drinking more.

Now I bought caffeine pills for an ECS stack that I'll be starting towards the end of october.

I use an EC stack 3 times a day and have more caffeine throughout the day, so I am definitely addicted. Before I bought caffeine pills I was using the powder and just mixing it with water. I tell people I have caffeine powder and I get strange looks.

I hope you're not stacking those caffeine pills on top of all that coffee.

If you try to quit coffee in the future. Try it gradually. From experience, cold turkey does not work. Especially when you work in a corporate environment where the coffee flows like water. To hard to resist.
