Do any of you not drink caffeine? I quit caffeine about 2 months ago and often question how anyone can make it in our profession without some sort of stimulant.

I try to cycle off once in a while. If you get enough sleep and exercise you should be ok. Most people don’t have enough of either.

I’m a coffee addict. Got hooked working my way through school with never enough sleep or time, big4 life was more of the same. Have to have at least 3-4 big cups a day and another when I get home (assuming that’s before 9pm)

I've quit it before, but I always go back during busy season. I operate better with coffee

I quit coffee for 2-3 hour periods multiple times a day each day. I however Love the stuff. Also work out, also drink water, but I enjoy a good cuppa Joe.

I also cycle on and off, I prefer no caffein at all, I feel way better. Sometimes during busy season you need to do what needs to be done to keep going and so ill break my streak

Did any of you study for the CPA exam while being off? I find myself so unproductive. I popped some Excedrin today (130mg of caffeine) and I felt so damn good. My main reason for quitting was due to stomach issues so I’m hoping they don’t come back and bite me tomorrow.
