I agree that the NEED for it is a big reason to let it go. I found myself needing it throughout the day, especially right before voice lessons to give me that little extra bounce in my step.

For you, did it make it easier to relax without needing a caffeine boost?

Now, it's not that I didn't have caffeine while I was over there, but it was nice to not NEED it. I sang better while I was over there then when I was in Arizona before I left, and I think that was a combination of the humidity, my mental state (I had no other distractions, it was all about relaxing and preparing myself to perform), and maybe the caffeine!
