✅ Effectively given up caffeine
✅ Starting running again (even sporadically)
✅ Got in the car and started driving
I would have been pretty happy, so I'm proud of that progress.

As per the opening post:
--- Quote ---Since I started uni (2013), I've been smashing the coffee. At the start of this year, it was at the point where if I didn't have coffee in the morning, I was headachey and generally grumpy. Not good.
I had also been pretty anxious, and figured the coffee wasn't helping, so I decided to get nothing but decaf.

Hmm pretty sure it's not bad for you but the addiction is the worst.
I still remember a story my primary school teacher told us about withdrawal symptoms because he used to drink beverages with high caffeine (e.g. Coke, coffee) every day. When he tried to avoid them for at least one day, by a few hours he was shaking so much because his body has gotten so used to the high caffeine intake.
Moral of the story: don't get too invested in coffee as a way to boost your energy. Eat an apple instead! More calories than coffee and can give you the energy you need :D
