I have, in fact, been told I am a man of very little substance.

I don't think I could make it through the day without oxygen.

Why go caffeine free?

I sadly figure the oil companies will make us all go caffeine free in the medium to long term, so may as well enjoy it now before it becomes a luxury of the wealthy.

Alcohol, cannabis, and methamphetamine free since '95. Nicotine free since '03. Caffeine free since '15.

Now if I could kick sugar.

I don't take anything (other than supplements, meds), still I could be eating healthier.

One thing that helped me quit coffee was drinking tea. I know it's still got caffeine, but if you're drinking 4 or 5 cups a day that brings the amount of caffeine waaaay down.

I am. I grew up around drug and alcohol addiction. Tried it. Hated it. Decided none of this was for me. Drugs is easy. Everybody in my house usually scampers away like roaches to do drugs. Alcohol is very much a family thing. Can't watch a game without someone screaming shots or drink. I usually end up hiding in my room.

Coffee makes me nauseous and I'm not trying to feel like I need to shit before I got something to do. Plus the crash is way worse than the energy its supposedly supposed to give me.

Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, marijuana, ecstasy, and alcohol. Co-co-co-co-co-cocaine.

Definitely not 100%

I am 100% free. Not even alcool or coffee bro. I used to drink a lot of energy drinks and coffee but they almost killed me so I stopped and removed everything containing relevant amounts of caffeine (including coke) and similar thing such as non decaffeinated tea

I drink tea, but not like a "coffee drinker" drinks coffee, nor how the average American drinks soda.

The caffeine doesn't feel noticeable to me, but I am still mindful of drinking it right before bed.

I just like my oolong sessions.

what do you consider "substance free"?

I drink alcohol and caffeine both less frequently than once a week, but I do consume both occasionally (usually for fun, or socially).

I'm as vapid as can be

I was going to ask if you meant right now, or in general, but if coffee is included, I'm out either way.

The nukes are about to fly bro, just enjoy life.

I'm living without alcohol and caffeine (except in tea and chocolate) and really never have the feeling of missing anything. Can recommend.

Lately I've been mostly avoiding caffeine, but probably for a different reason than OP.
My goal is to get to the point where if I need to stay alert, caffeine would have a significant effect. So far I believe I'm not there yet, if I ever will be. (Might be genetic)

I don't like the taste or smell of alcohol, so that's just never been a thing for me.

Never smoked or vaped anything. Can't understand why people start smoking nicotine, when it seems so obviously terrible.

Caffeine, no. Everything else, yes.

I have yet to evolve beyond my corporeal form, so not me.

As a corporate dev, I'll keep my weed and caffeine thanks

Caffeine and sugar are my two big vices. It would be healthier to drop the sugar than the caffeine, but it generally isn't considered a drug. But I get my simple carbs (and caffeine) every day.

I'm just not interested in drugs whatsoever. Including caffeine. I could never tell a single difference when I tried it, so what's the point?

I use substance almost every day, either substance painter or designer

I am a man of substance

My alcohol and caffeine history is pretty typical, grew out of drinking and found a reasonable relationship with coffee and tea.

Now weed gives me hangovers and the potential for bad trips. I have never been a regular stoner, and I am considering limiting myself even further (every few months). Psychedelics even less, but that kind of comes by design, if you are a responsible person.

There is no way in hell that I am touching opiates or amphetamines for recreation. I know I am someone who enjoys drugs, and I don't know if I had the willpower to stop if I start.

All in all, quite happy with the status quo. Everything in moderation, even the moderation.

Does this question mean "i consume substances and couldn't do without it" or "i consume substances for recreational usages"?

because these questions entail very different consequences. imagine your hobby is woodworking. your friend snarkily asks you whether you're ok or addicted and actually need therapy to learn to live without it. it would probably be a dumb thing to say because having hobbies is healthy, and i believe recreational drug use can be a hobby too. (within reasonable limits)

Never abused substances

Or even used if you don’t count caffeine

Excluding tea: My ADHD meds (aka methamphetamines)
Including tea: That and ADHD meds.

I would consider myself substance free, although I do drink caffeinated soda and once or twice a year maybe a coffee or alcohol. I like to freak people out by doing that it's funny

Sober 6 months. It’s better

"I don't want another drink, I don't want another bump I'm afraid of falling down if I get much further up I don't want another hit, I don't want another shot Don't you make another line that I do not wanna cross

My friends, their friends, their friends' friends Are trying to kill me, really Everybody that I know Is trying to kill me, really"

honestly i go through cycles

Nope, have caffeine in the veins right now and had alcohol last night. Have weed gummies once a month or so. I do occasionally go for a month or more without any of them just to confirm I am doing it by choice.

Moderation is the key, and going without for a period of time is definitely a good thing to do.

Clean all my life but I've been thinking

I've never done drugs or drank alcohol. I used to get a little too obsessed with hyper fixations when I was younger, so I figured that wouldn't end well. I'd probably be fine now but like...why at this point?

I've been on a soda and coffee kick recently but I routinely cut it out completely and I'm usually the better for it. I'll be heading back to the gym soon after not having time so it'll probably be then. My body feels weird if I'm exercising but eating/drinking garbage Might have headaches for a few days depending on how bad your caffeine or sugar addiction was.
