headache today - finally gave up caffeine... again

[miriam_e]

I've given up caffeine a few times before. Each time I get sucked back into it when having to pull an all-nighter, generally to complete some software on a deadline. Of course that's usually followed by a long period of debugging so I'm never able to sleep it off, so keep using caffeine to stay on track. Of course when the big panic is over I find I'm hooked again and need to look for a rare idle few days to allow for headaches withdrawing from the rotten drug.

I've resolved to never let it happen again. I've given up caffeine this time for good. I'm sick of being held to ransom by a stupid chemical.

What's the bet that some years down the track we'll find out that caffeine is not the harmless substance everybody wants it to be. Boy! This damn headache sure tells me something is not right with it.
