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

I quit caffeine for health reasons (it caused terrible reflux), and then months later reintroduced it to my diet with tea instead of coffee. I’ve found the caffeine in tea to be way less harsh, I never feel jittery or sweaty or nervous from black or green tea.

I still miss drinking coffee sometimes, but I feel much better not having it. Quitting initially was extremely tough, I had been addicted to caffeine for like 10 years at that point
