This is to warn inform the world that I have not consumed a drop of caffeine - no Coke Zero, no Dr. Pepper, no Excedrin (my drug of choice) - the entire month of June! Even though I had a raging headache on Sunday. Even though it has been ugly gray drizzly blah every day this month.
I am woman - Hear me roar!
I don't actually know why I decided to lay off the caffeine. I think it had something to do with a comment that Micah made last week.
"Mom, did you know that some people overcome
their addictions by eating cold turkey?"
Micah makes me smile. So I decided that (1) I'm addicted to caffeine and (2) I don't want my kids to realize it and start suggesting I eat cold turkey. I don't even like turkey.

Good luck! You can do it!!
I will offer you moral support, even though I *still* have not kicked my Starbucks habit, after nearly twelve years of trying.
Some caffeine-free pain relievers might take the edge (but only the edge) off of the headache. Light exercise might help, but basically I think it will just be a tough few days. Sorry. :-(
I'm a Diet Coke-aholic! I just read something disturbing about aspertame...but has that stopped me? NO! I am, however, trying to cut back to 1 can a day. I haven't been very pleasant to live with the last few days!
GOOD LUCK!
You are brave!!
You have gone a whole 5 days without caffeine? Is there some kind of award for that or something? I crave caffeine all the time, and I look forward to the day that I am not breast feeding anymore. I have sips every now and then, but oh how an ice cold cherry pepsi sounds right now....Oh...sorry...that probably doesn't help you out much now does it. That's what friends are for. "Keep smilin..keep shinin, knowin you can always count on me...for sure...that's what friends are for.." come on now..everybody hold hands and sway.
good for you! do you find you are sleeping more?
i was off caf for awhile and then green tea crept in...some oolong....
