If you need help with getting off caffeine, pick up some DL-phenylalanine. 500 mg - 1g a few times per day helps immensely. I didn't have any headaches. Not sure if you have access to it, but I purchased mine from BulkSupplements through Amazon.
Don't worry about it if you drink here and there, man. It may altar the effectiveness of state shifting, but it's not like it all-out destroys the program. I'm on DMSI, a state-shifting program, and I noticed literally no difference going caffeine free. If anything, for whatever reason, I seem to execute more often while taking caffeine (or the times I drank alcohol). I'm not advocating going out of your way to derail any 5.5G program, just saying that the results aren't as devastating as some seem to portray.
You'll be alright.
