Withdraws ...

I'm a little over 5 months sober and off and on I have been going through withdraws all over again.

Talked to my sponsor and my doc. They both said that the withdraws, even months after is normal for alcoholics. PAWS (Post Acute Withdraw Syndrome), as it has been explained.

However, now ... I am also dealing with my caffeine withdraws as well. I'm not trying to cut caffeine completely, I substituted my caffeine for my drink. For the past 2 days as I've been at work, I have been having severe withdraws from my coffee, monsters, etc just within hours of not having any caffine.

I was just sitting here behind my desk at work, had the most painful headache and just ran to the restroom and puked.

Any advice on kicking the caffeine withdraw without triggering going back to drinking?
