Caffeine has got to be among the shittiest drugs to get addicted to. There's no euphoria; you just get anxiety and can't sit still. And then in a couple of hours you get tired and want to go to sleep.

I just don't understand how people get addicted to the stuff. Even when I needed to drink it for my job, the moment I quit that place was the same moment I quit drinking coffee. It's simply not a fun drug at all. There are much better stimulants out there.

I mean are most caffeine enjoyers addicicted? I don't think so.

I drink ~ 1 Liter of coffee a day but it's because I work a 10 hours shift, 4 hour round trip commute, and get 5 - 6 hours of sleep. I never really crave or need caffeine but it does help keep me from falling asleep at the wheel and dying

Even if you're not addicted, that whole everything you just said is terrible for you, and I say that as someone who's lived that life before.

You're 100℅ correct, thanks for your perspective. Aiming to get out of my current work situation in the next few months.
