I have given up coffee at least 4 or 5 times. This time, I’m already at one cup, so I should be able to switch to matte within a few weeks.
How to give up coffee
It made me
*yawn!!* 
"I quit coffee from Jan '07 - Sept '07 to lower anxiety and stress."
How I did it: Someone gave me the idea of giving up coffee b/cI had an anxiety attack and knew my cigarettes, coffee, and work were doing it to me. One day I just stopped, it was REALLY hard. Coffee was part of my routine! It woke me up! ...how was I s'posed to wake up now...? ;)
Well I did it, for 8 months, went light on soft drinks with caffiene, and chocolate, too. I had really bad headaches for a week or so, mild headaches for another week or so, and then they went away.
My stress definately lowered, and my high anxiety, my jittery feeling, not being able to sit still...it all went away. I do love the taste of coffee, though, not just it's waking-up properties, so I resumed after experiencing a stress-less lifestyle.
Lessons & tips: Just do it, it's hard w/the headaches and all, but they go away, I promise! (:
Resources: My fabulous will power. :P

This is going more slowly than I thought…but I have at least cut down to 1 cup every day (OK, sometimes 2), and never in the evening.

Sometimes I’ll have a cup of coffe, I really like the taste. But I’ve beaten my addiction and started drinking green tea instead. It makes me alert, but not as jittery and nervous as when I’m drinking coffe.

This goal is in conjunction with trying to get a grip on my life and my vices, in aim of getting healthier. This means phasing out old habits, in exchange of new, positive habits. Today also marks my 2 weeks of being alcohol free, so I think I’m good. Plus, it’s about time I started drinking Tea again.
I guess this goal should expire in a month, as I’m sure within a 30 day period, I would have lost the desire, or at least the addiction for it.

The plan is to start on the 18th Feb, no cutting down or anything like that just st8 in cold turkey and wait for the headache I guess.
The goal is to not drink any for 2 months and then allow myself a couple of cups a day as its not coffee I dislike its the side effects of drinking so much.
I am not going to like this but
