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 have quit caffeine a couple of times. I’m such a fiend for it but it definitely increases my anxiety and makes my sleep less regular too. I taper off because I drink astronomical amounts. I usually halve my intake week over week until im down to just a cup of tea or something light, at which point I start taking odd days off of caffeine and then none at all. Normally my caffeine free streaks last a couple of months, until some late night project or early morning meeting ruins my energy levels and I start the cycle all over again.
