but...
- i do get headaches
- i often feel lethargic
- hunch it prevents deep work, just accelerates rapid ctx switching.

I did this for 2 months, cold turkey. My experience:

- first two weeks were hell (bad withdrawal symptoms, loss of focus, sleep)
- brain fog mostly recovered by week 3
- productivity back to baseline month 2
- deep realisation that you're disconnected from society that runs on a coffee schedule by end of month 2

I don’t want to discourage you - although tough, this was a profound experience. 

bigger alpha was cutting alcohol to 1ce per month or less. this is just pure upside.

overall experience was enlightening and helped me develop a better relationship with coffee - but I did go back to drinking it, now making a conscious choice continue 

main benefit: having consistent energy throughout the day, rather than 2 spikes. however the area under the curve was roughly the same.

did you run out of characters to list all the positive benefits that occured next?
