I stopped drinking caffeine a couple of months ago, in preparation for another attempt at quitting smoking. I also did not need the extra energy boost in the morning.

Also, it turns out that if you have a cuppa tea or coffee after quitting for a while it makes you feel the effects very strongly. I don't really like it, other than the taste.

My path to quitting caffeine was to first switch to green tea in the morning for a while and then to Tulsi tea which is made from holy basil, which has a lot of very nice health benefits especially for smokers.
