Hi, I have had the same problems with caffeine addiction. I am finally at the point in my life where I am pretty much caffeine-free, as I am very sensitive to it. I am bipolar, so it tends to aggravate my symptoms. Since I am more stabilized with medication, I tend I find to crave it sometimes -- maybe because I miss the ups. Or possibly when I am in the depressive phase.
I also second the recommendation to attend a 12-step group. I also have addiction problems, and had the same problems with caffeine as with other drugs (I abuse it). I also tend to use it to self-medicate.
