Coffee increases my anxiety and anger but I love the taste and the ritual. I have quit multiple times only to come back after a couple of months. This usually occurs because I drink too much alcohol one night and need a pickup in the morning. In the last couple of years my alcohol consumption has gone down to next to nothing and three months ago I quit coffee again (hopefully for the last time). If I go cold turkey I get severe migraines for several days. To avoid the migraines I go from regular coffee, to de caffeinated coffee, to tea, to a root tea. Currently, I am trying to avoid a hot drink in the mornings. I have been successful for a week now but miss the ritual.
