I imagine that many of you are similar to me
while I was attending chiropractic school (and for many years
afterward): a caffeine addict. Each morning I would enjoy the 'Breakfast of Champions': a handful of vitamins, two caffeine tablets, and a Pepsi (it didn't provide any assistance in staying awake). Many days after I was in practice would find me partaking of two to three cans of caffeinated soda. A variety of our favorite drinks have
caffeine as a component, and it is easy to maintain a daily fix of this
drug, but as with all addictive chemicals, we are healthier without it. I finally realized that I had become so accustomed to caffeine in my body that I had no more trouble going to sleep after consuming it than not. Luckily for me, my withdrawal symptoms were limited to moderate headaches for four to five weeks, and I now consider myself caffeine-free -- I probably drink caffeinated sodas no more than two or three times a month.
