    I have quit for almost two months. What I realized is that the reason why I could not feel energized without coffee was due to the fact that the coffee itself was the cuase for why I felt tired in the first place. It would disrupt my sleep, i would then have coffee in the morning, not sleep well because of drinking coffee and then feel tired the next morning wanting more coffee. This cycle continued until after i decided toi quit and realized that I slept like a baby without any caffeine in my body. Because I get full rest, I don't need any caffeine at all.

    Greatvideo. So wise for being so young. It took me 45 years to quick coffee and I don't miss it at all. Feel great. Sleep Great. My best friend for 45 years was my worst enemy. Also word of advice. I am a bit extreme so I quit coffee cold turkey. I thought that since I only drank one or two cups a day it would be easy mild to stop. I forgot it is not only the amount but the duration of the addiction. After 2 days I was afraid I was going to die. After 3 days I was praying for death. finally on the 5th day I began to feel better and it got progressively better after the 5th day and after 4 months I will not go back to the coffee habit ever again. So for anyone out there. Make a plan like Sacha recommended and just start reducing your caffeine gradually. Your body and soul will be much better off doing this. Cheers and Peace.

    Decaffeination removes about 97% or more of the caffeine in coffee beans. A typical cup of decaf coffee has about 2 mg of caffeine, compared to a typical cup of regular coffee, which has about 95 mg of caffeine.

    Well I think it's not quite true to say caffeine itself doesn't trigger anxiety. Caffeine does stimulate cortisol--especially after it's been in your bloodstream for a few hours. Cortisol is the stress hormone. So while it's true that some people will feel more anxiety than others, your body is literally dealing with more stress hormones firing.

    For the past decade, I have consistently consumed coffee on a daily basis. Recently, I made the decision to abruptly cease my caffeine intake and have now successfully abstained for a period of three months. I am pleased to report that I am experiencing a remarkable improvement in my overall well-being. Previously, I encountered difficulties in achieving deep REM sleep, but now I consistently have dreams every night. Upon waking, I feel refreshed and energized, which has significantly enhanced my daily productivity.

    I got through two months and I always thought about that morning coffee. Every single day. But I had no anxiety. My mood was so much more relaxed and level.
    I loved waking up early, making a decent coffee and reading my book. Loved it. I couldn't read a book in the morning without it.
    Anyway, decaf is still caffeinated. It still very much affects your brain. You either drink coffee or u don't!!! U decide. Decaf is a joke.

It took me more than 8 months to feel free and awake in the mornings. Now 1,5 years after quiting cafeine (everything except the ocasional chocolate and rarely green tea), I had a cup of coffe since I had a long drive home. So I thought to be safe from falling asleep, I will drink a cup. And it tasted horible,, so bad that even 3 hours after drinking it I had this horible coffe taste in my mouth... It felt like the first time I drank coffee as a child. I do not think I ever will drink coffee again.... I drink herbal tea, have tried so many I order from the net. There are some really good ones out there to try.
