I've switched from normal coffee to decaf and that's worked great. On caffeine I feel like I'm a bit on edge.

I also limit alcohol as well. Not very consistently, but I'll easily go a month without a drink or just have one or two every couple weeks.

What I've found though is that the drug habits flow into each other. If you drink one night, then the next day you'll feel like having caffeine to give you a bit of a boost and make you feel better. It's in these times that you have to resist the urge - otherwise you'll be back on that caffeine wagon.

Doing exercise is also really helpful. I'll actively avoid alcohol the night before or after a workout. I've read that even a small amount of alcohol can negatively affect muscle gain, which is a great incentive not to drink around your workouts!
