You can.

If you cut our about one half a cup of coffee a day, you can stop taking caffeine without withdrawal symptoms. You can even switch to decaf if you want to keep your habits in the same pattern.

    Sounds good on paper, but not that easy. We're talking years, maybe decades of addiction, quitting overnight and trying to keep a job, household running, dependants alive... Not always that simple. It's a vicious cycle.

    It's not overnight, it takes a few weeks.

    It does require some discipline and willpower (like figuring out how much coffee you currently drink, then remembering how much you can drink now).

    If you are ADHD or just scatterbrained then yeah might not work, but you really can do it.
