I finally managed to quit drinking coffee and tea.

I used to drink one big cup a day each morning of one and a half teaspoons of Nescafé Gold and throughout the day multiple cups of tea.

There was a constant feeling of anxiety or irritation or nervousness in me which has gone away.

I haven't dialed back my coffee consumption, but I have dialed back the caffeine. I love the taste of coffee at least as much as I love the morning ritual. I tried tea and coffee alternatives, but they never took. I stopped entirely for about 6-7mos, but didn't notice any significant differences (e.g., sleep was the same, anxiety no worse but no better, etc.)

If you like coffee, but don't like the occasional jitters or anxiety that caffeine can bring with it, go decaf or 1/2 caf. Decaf gets a bad rap.
