I used to drink a litre a day when I worked from home, brewed strong. Later I got an office job, and my consumption slowly tailed off, to te point I was drinking just one mug in the morning. No effort, no plan or intention, and certainly no headaches. It's no problem if I miss my morning joe.
I have an addictive personality, and I drink and smoke a lot; I don't think any addictive substance is easier to quit than coffee.
What you did is called tapering. You reduced your dose slowly enough to avoid withdrawal symptoms.
I assure you that the withdrawal is very real, though nothing ibuprofen can’t take care of. To experience it, just quit drinking all caffeine cold turkey.
I got ill and couldn't keep anything down. The caffeine withdrawal was brutal. I resolved not to start drinking caffeinated coffee again. Decaff worked for a few months. Now I'm back on the full strength, but not as much.
Really?
