I can never truly understand the mind of an addict. Of course, I may very well be a caffeine addict. However, if I use some of my psychology training I can surmise that he hit rock bottom before going to the big leagues. I can only guess he has the self-awareness to remember what that was like and may be subsequently frightened. Why people relapse is an fascinating one clinically. I've tried to quit caffeine numerous times and have succeeded for months at a time. The psychological addiction is often more powerful than the physical one I suppose.
