Addicted to Stimulants?

How many of us here in GC land are addicted to stimulants?

Coffee Tea ephedrine or whatever?

I need to have at least one bit of caffeine to start my day - my morning workout (usually around 5 am most mornings) wakes me up, but I need the caffeine for that extra push.

I feel the need...the need for CAFFEINE! I am so addicted that if I miss my morning cup (or 2, or 3) of coffee, I will have a raging headache until I get some. The last time I went without coffee for more than 2 days was when I was sick and didn't want to get dehydrated. By the 3rd day I had to go back to work, so I needed a pick me up and went back to the coffee pot.

I'm not addicted to them but sometimes I need a sugar free red bull or a cup of coffee...but I know that if I have coffee for like three or four days in a row I will have withdrawals from it....no fun!!

If I don't have caffeine in some form within a few hours after I rise, I am not a happy camper.

Have never liked coffee at all. Have Iced tea with lunch fairly often. On prescription or other kinds of drugs at all.

When I used to be a regular tea/soda drinker and I'd stop for a day, I'd get withdrawal symptoms. I've pretty much stopped regular use of caffeine due to that.

I could live without caffeine, even though it might be difficult at first. Everything else would be easy.

Definitely addicted to the Diet Coke. I don't think it's just the caffeine...I really like the taste. Yummy! I know I *can* wean myself off it, because I've done it before, but then I gotta have that yummy-tasting Diet Coke again!

I can't live without coffee. I love the taste and ritual of it more than anything else.
