Coffee is something you can cut down on and eventually quit. It’s not like cigarettes. Use decaffeinated coffee to fill the habit. Like if you drink 4 cups a day, cut down to 3 cups + 1 decaffeinated, then cut down to 2 cups +2 decaffeinated. Etc. ---

Are you addicted to coffee or energy drinks? Energy drinks are harder to get off of because they’re also sweet.. I think you’re really struggling with the need for some sort of ritual. I’m sure if you replaced caffeine with something else you would be able to do it. I don’t have advice though because my ritual is smoking cigarillos and I can’t stop. I don’t know what to do ---

Combination of both energy drinks, coffee. And soda. Idk I feel like I need something to take the edge off my boredom and feeling low and I can’t drink alcohol anymore ---

I drink it for my migraines everyday and it really helps. But for decades I never drank caffeine and it’s great if you can drink less everyday or stop completely. ---
