My motivator to get out of bed is not getting fired and feeding the cat. I seldom drink coffee. Made well I enjoy the taste, but it's ever been good at keeping me awake or making me productive.

Same. I eventually figured out that this is likely a symptom of my adult ADHD, and I either need unhealthy amounts of coffee or something a little stronger

I just cut out caffeine 99% a few years ago. If I ever do have any, it's a little more effective. And if I go backpacking in the woods for a week and don't have any, no withdrawals. I don't miss it at all. Occasionally I make myself a decaf.

I don't even ever get the physical withdrawals or any noticeable effects, regardless of how often I do or don't drink it. So, since my partner really does need the coffee first thing in the morning and I'm making it anyway, I usually have a cup because I like the taste and ritual. But when she's out of town or getting coffee elsewhere, I hardly ever have any caffeine.

The exception is when I was taking Adderall every day, I really did feel some effects from the caffeine, mostly potentiating the amphetamine. I do miss that aspect of being medicated
