I had to quit coffee a decade ago because of a cardiovascular adventure that I had.

I don't know anything about physical effects such as headaches and weight gain; I didn't experience any of those and anyway they sound a little like TV hype to me. But I also have the experience of giving up smoking a couple of packs a day (gave it up many years before I quit the coffee) and while I never find myself wanting a cigarette, I'd still love a cup of dark first thing in the morning. It is a good thing in life.

TV hype? Caffeine is a drug. Don't know about weight gain, but headaches and such as well documented.
