Andrew,

Thank you so much for sharing this. Incredibly difficult to do, but it's so valuable for the rest of the community to hear a story like yours, and to hear small things that you have done to help.

Super interesting too about the caffeine. That seems like the hardest item on the list. :) Any advice on how you went about doing that?

Quitting the caffeine took a lot of pure willpower, especially when I was on four cans of Monster a day. Killer headaches for two weeks solid. :x
