Join the club. I found it interesting how you made sure to mention you were not in withdrawal from a drug, except the drug of caffeine. Caffeine was almost outlawed with marijuana in the beginning of the 20th century with all the other drugs. Not to get on your case but your post sounds exactly like a drug addict trying to get their fix. Every addict thinks their drug is OK and everyone else's drug of choice is wrong. Here in America, we are all drug addicts of one sort or another, even food can be a drug, as well as herbs. What makes you a loser in America is to be with out money, thats it. Although my post may sound negative to you, it is not meant to be. Just some realism of the American Society. Find what makes you happy if that is possible without some type of drug. We are here for you, as I am a loser too. I only wish I could find the drug that makes me as happy as caffeine does you. Take you withdrawals slowly and taper down as you have to do with any drug. Just realize that most things are technically a drug, i.e. chocolate. I understand how the hypocrisy of our society has you confused.
An interesting fact: when you exercise your body releases endorphins which is actually a stronger drug than morphine that produces a euphoria feeling. So there are people that are addicted to working out and then feel like s*** after they stop because the body is going the withdrawal of not having the endorphins.
Just another perspective, take care and be well.
