My caffeine addiction makes me feel like a heroin addict.

I drink coffee primarily for the taste. I find caffeine helps very little in regards to energy, and find it especially detrimental when maintaining calmness (like a meeting for example).

...your choices are decaf coffee or decaf tea? Oh boy, what a drink selection.

That's my problem with quitting caffeine. It's in everything.
Can you stand not having soda? How about chocolate? Energy Drinks? (I love monster)

I don't drink pop/soda and I hate energy drinks. Not a huge chocolate guy either. I should be fine.

More me, it is worse with diet pop... especially Diet Coke and Diet Mt. Dew.

Dat first sip is intoxicating.

As soon as that delicious coffee hits my bloodstream it's like my eyes dilate and I hit cloud 9.

1 hour later the coffee is all gone and I want another one 🙁

Coffee can't do that to you because of your basic human physiology. Caffeine doesn't directly "hit" your brain, but it works by exciting neurotransmitters that your body generates as part of its basic working mechanism. You might feel like you are overly stimulated from to much coffee, but you can't actually feel something particularly odd - or strange to your Internal nervous system - from it.

So stop being such a drama queen, coffee doesn't work like opiates.
And kudos to the poster above.
 
I drink coffee for the taste, not the caffeine. I drink 2 cups every morning but I don't feel any different before or after I drink it.

I believe your idea of the body is too simplistic. Knowing the caffeine is on the way can trigger a very quick dopamine response or something like that. I have met women who have triggered a quick deeply pleasant response without even touching me.

Take breaks from coffee (not to be confused with coffee breaks).

Go a few days without it. I drink green tea whenever I'm not drinking coffee in a given week.
