I've been caffeine-free for a week now after trying to quit this garbage for years, fully understanding how bad it really is.
Quitting caffeine is significantly easier than people think it is. Don't listen to anyone that claims they had "withdrawals" for months, they are misguided.
Most "withdrawal" symptoms are psychological, from believing you need that garbage to have energy (you don't) and constantly moping about it. That's what creates the cravings.
The psychological aspect is 90% of the difficulty, the physical withdrawal is extremely mild and manageable. Literally just a little bit of a headache for a couple of days, and that's it.
People who claim to have "withdrawals" for longer than, say, a week, just have psyopped themselves into believing they can't live without caffeine.
If you feel like shit weeks after, it's because you have shit habits that your caffeinism was masking the symptoms of. Bad sleep schedule, too much or too little exercise, crappy diet, etc.
Also, a lot of the cravings for "coffee" are actually cravings for the sugar you were taking it with. I added a couple teaspoons of sugar to my decaf and all the craving went away completely.
Most addictions are mostly psychological. The more you believe in their addictiveness, the more you will have a victim complex and the harder it will be to quit.
