I had an emergency and had to jump back in.

I'm going cold turkey April 1; seems to be an appropriate date

Yerba Mate - I stopped drinking coffee recently, as well.  (Well, I'll have a cup maybe once every 2 weeks)  Mate has similar properties as green tea, but more earthy flavor than more, plus a bit more kick (not entirely from caffeine though - antioxidants and other randomness).  If nothing else, it really helps bridge that gap between tea & coffee.

Hmmm - I guess I haven't really noticed.  I usually have a pretty small appetite to start with.

tracy, i'm a big fan of coffee.   a few years ago my doctor recommended that i have ingest less caffeine.

so, when i made coffee at home i mixed decaf into the regular caff coffee, gradually increasing the decaf to regular ratio.  i took about a month to do it.

worked fab!  no headaches, no grumpiness, etc.  

side note:  last december i ran out of decaf and started just drinking the full caff coffee that i had in my cupboard.  one month ago i decided i wanted my mellow mornings back and have been brewing the decaf again.

also:  am not a "cold turkey" detractor, if it's a good m.o. for you, rad!
