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’ve been dependent on it for a decade plus and I heard it takes 6 months or more to get over the withdrawals so I’m just never gonna quit. i spend enough energy not being reliant on much more harmful substances that i have problems with. coffee is fine in comparison. i don’t take nearly as much as I used to though, like a couple espressos a day
