The stimulant is addictive as it gives you a high burst of energy but has to come down. Some articles deem it more addictive than sugar and cocaine.
Ive been decaf for as long as ive been planning pregnancies and being pregnant. No caffeine nor alcohol passed my lips. I have a drink at big functions but still no caffeine.
I love coffee but I avoid full caffeine versions. I get addicted and i end up needing the caffeine to get through the day.
