No offense taken. I don't understand what you mean by rationalization and peer validation though. On the other hand it seems very irrational that as a conscious eater with the real experience of feeling healthy, vibrant and alive, I would choose to consume things that make me feel crappy. Isn't that the whole 21st century human dilemma? I'm even more guilty having had the experience and privilege of a healthy lifestyle. Why would I choose otherwise? My question to others about having a similar experience as mine was because whenever I have searched for info about true caffeine addiction on the internet, I've only found info about withdrawal headaches. Withdrawal headaches are the least of my concern! I do see that curezone has caffeine addition forum that I'm excited about checking out. I'm not sure how current it is though:)
thanks for your responses Pepe. I've always enjoyed your spirit and commitment to this process.
