Enjoyable read - there's something to be said here about the common use of surface-level solutions to patch up a systemic problem. We often need to get to the root cause to rectify the issue. Caffeine it seems was a band-aid to patch over your chronic fatigue. I'm also on a caffeine holiday myself since last week. Been hard initially - you feel like an unsharpened pencil in the mornings - but eventually you start becoming more like yourself again! Good luck with the rest of the journey.

Hi @Kavi Mehan thanks for taking the time to read and comment.

You hit it 100%. Fixing root cause problems is much more difficult so people try to blue pill themselves into believing they are fine using coffee, cigarettes, zyn, sleeping pills etc.

That is a valid take

So we’re just going to ignore that The Matrix Resurrections ever happened?

You can pry my cold brew from my mottled, dying, caffeinated hands!
