quitting caffeine? (hexbear.net)
submitted 12 hours ago by quarrk@hexbear.net to c/chat@hexbear.net

Has anyone here quit caffeine after consuming it regularly for years? What was your experience, and was it worth it?

I’m considering doing this because I feel it is affecting my mood, energy, anxiety, and overall stability.

Not needing validation or anything, just curious to chat about it if anyone else has been through decaffeination

You could swap in some decaf to sub out 1 or 2 of your normal cups a day. If you drink a lot of it, definitely do not go cold turkey. I did that once and started getting horrible headaches. I’ve cut way back a couple times, switching to green tea but I don’t think I’ve ever been able to cut it out completely, sigh. Went for a good 6 months onky having a few green teas but like the other commenters, as soon as I got really busy and stressed, coffee was back on the menu.
