Weaning Off Caffeine

Starting this Saturday, I'm cutting down on the caffeine and switching to decaf coffee. Here's the deal:

Step 1: The first week to 10 days, 3/4 regular coffee and 1/4 decaf coffee.

Step 2: The next 2 weeks, 1/2 regular coffee and 1/2 decaf coffee.

Step 3: The next 2 weeks, 1/4 regular coffee and 3/4 decaf coffee.

Step 4: DECAF 100%

Yes, I am aware that decaf does have a little bit of caffeine, but it's better than the hundreds of milligrams I was consuming daily.

I really hope this works. I've tried to go cold turkey, and the headaches are AWFUL. I lived for 20 years without coffee, and then picked it up thinking that it would be a good thing (I have my uncle Tom to thank for that. Yeah, thanks, dude!). I thought it'd give me a little boost in the morning and help with those long nights of studying (or NOT studying, which I've found to be common place with me). It IS my favorite part of the morning, but I figure I can still have it, just not caffeinated. It's not fun to be so dependent on something, and it makes me way too jittery. I can't take that feeling anymore. So, here goes nothing.
