Enjoyable read - there's something to be said here about the common use of surface-level solutions to patch up a systemic problem. We often need to get to the root cause to rectify the issue. Caffeine it seems was a band-aid to patch over your chronic fatigue. I'm also on a caffeine holiday myself since last week. Been hard initially - you feel like an unsharpened pencil in the mornings - but eventually you start becoming more like yourself again! Good luck with the rest of the journey.

Hi @Kavi Mehan thanks for taking the time to read and comment.

You hit it 100%. Fixing root cause problems is much more difficult so people try to blue pill themselves into believing they are fine using coffee, cigarettes, zyn, sleeping pills etc.

You can pry my cold brew from my mottled, dying, caffeinated hands!
