Anyone quit caffeine?

I quit caffeine over 25 years ago because of the throbbing withdrawal headaches I would get when I didn't ingest enough caffeine. Once I figured out it was caffeine withdrawal causing the headaches and I got the caffeine out of my system, I was fine.
Come to find out years later, I have 3 BHMT gene mutations and they alter my ability to break down caffeine. I can drink a sip or two here or there, but I won't do a full glass of Coke. I can handle the smaller amounts of caffeine in sweet tea but still don't do it.
If you ever have throbbing headaches, look for caffeine withdrawal as the culprit.
