Hi Dillon,
I have cut caffeine out completely, and I feel better for doing it. You can

there is Gatorade on the shelves of the stores today, to put back what you

Hey Dillon,
When I finally got out of rehab I ended up in a nursing home and hated it so
I spent my time trying to figure out how to get back home.
