There are several threads on caffeine on this forum that can be found if someone uses the search function; however, I wanted to link some of the posts about caffeine that I think have a lot to offer as far as comments and advice. I may add to this list in the future as well.

Before I got off the sauce it wasn’t unusual for me to knock back 4 big cups of coffee, or 2-3 cups of coffee and 2-3 espresso shots, in one day. Now, I have maybe 1 or 2 a day as I’m not as sleepy and don’t need them to wake up in the morning.
But yesterday, I was having some Relationship Blues™ (girlfriend told me she loves me, the relationship is still young, I’m scared of messing things up, blah blah blah we’ve all heard it before) and waiting for a friend in a café to come talk about them.…
