Am I the only one here who doesn't take caffeine?

Nope. I quit cold turkey nearly a year ago.

I used to drink Diet Coke (and later Coke Zero) like it was water, and a few years back started drinking coffee, and would have at least two cups a morning (that's in addition to the Diet Coke/Coke Zero). Then about a year ago, I had an incident where I was taken to the hospital, and in the followup doctor's visits I was advised to give up caffeine, as it was likely my caffeine intake that did it to me. I quit that day.

I had to deal with headaches and lethargy for about a couple of weeks, but once I got over that I ended up feeling much better overall. I didn't feel anywhere near as jittery and it was easier for me to wake up in the morning.

Nowadays if I drink soda, it's mostly on the weekend and it's either Caffeine Free Diet Coke or Sprite Zero. I drink a couple of cups of decaf coffee in the morning, and other than alcohol I stick to water for the rest of the day (and I drink that like a fish).

All in all, though, I'm finding I don't miss it. I thought it would be harder to go without but since I got through the withdrawal I don't think about it much, other than the fact that I don't feel the after-effects of the caffeine use. I think it's safe to say that I've broken the addiction. :-)
