For some people, the effects of caffeine seem to be permanent. I am one.


Can you expand on this?


Not a lot.


The alertness and anxiety just stacks with every cup and never wears off. The next day, it's even higher with that day's caffeine. The next day, moreso. Eventually, you reach, and then surpass, supernatural levels of mental overdrive, like cheesing INT in Morrowind, and you never come back down. With every sip, you know nothing will ever be the same.


Sort of, but not exactly. More like quitting it doesn’t change me back to prior me. I will just be current me but without the addiction. I’ll still long for her just the same. Once you start drinking it black, you never go back.


He's just referring to the sleep part. He hasn't slept since 2004.
