How I did it: I work at a summer camp, and though they have coffee there, it's not very good.  Maybe Camp wasn't the best time to pick, since it's a job that requires me to be energetic for long hours at a time, but when is it a good time to do anything?
The first few days I did have some headaches and I was tired.  But this definitely made me conscious of just how dependent I was on coffee.
I did drink tea over the week, but I even like decaf coffee better than tea--i genuinely enjoy the flavor of coffee.  So I'm going to continue to drink it, just in more moderation than before.

Lessons & tips:

• Drink tea as a substitute
• Ibuprofen works wonders on headaches
• It's only 7 days.  You can do it!
