So I've been getting a lot of feedback my my beloved friends who think that I maybe nuts. All of it ranges from "try a slow withdrawal" to "Do you know what you are really giving up?!?" with lists of stuff that has caffeine (cough cough Mark).

Yes, I've thought about this for a while and I know how ubiquitous caffeine seems these days. It's in soft drinks, power drinks, candy, beer, soap (yes soap) , chocolate etc. It's gonna be a pain. Yes, I will most likely have SOME caffeine as SOME time in my life. The point here is to remove it from my regular diet. AKA .. no more morning Coffees or Teas. None of the high obtain caffeine delivery systems that I manage to shove down my gullet daily. 

I hope my friends that this clears up some of your concerns. Now I return you to your regular scheduled programming.

And so it begins ...

OK. I've set up this site to blog about my pending shot down the toilet of caffeine withdrawal. Yes, I said caffeine withdrawal.

Now, I know what you are thinking. 'Caffeine is your friend' and 'Why the hell would you want to give it up'. Well it's simple. My name is Mike Young and I am an addict.

I am no longer consuming caffeine for that extra boost, that buzz. I am no longer ingesting it to get an edge. No. I am now to the point where to just normalize myself I need my caffeine. Yeah, you heard me right. I wake in the morning feeling like crap. I have my coffee, I feel 'normal'. Then around midday I need another 'hit' to continue to feel normal. I am honestly tired of this. Really really tired.

So I've decided to set up this blog and go through this painful process for your education/amusement. I should be blogging several times a day, as well as possibly doing video blogs.

The date that I'm going to start my slow decent to hell has not been chosen as of yet. I can tell you that it will be in either April or May of 2012 (so in the next 2 months).

Please feel free to comment on this. It should be interesting.
