I hear you ... its not something I would have contemplated up until recently. Like you, my love & consumption of coffee is a small part of my identity, its something people know me for. Heck, this is the pen that rides in my work notebook:



It's just that I've started slowly working towards healthier eating (not portion control, but trying to base what I eat more on natural, nutritious foods) and as a part of this I kept running into the recommendation to kick the caffeine. I figured since overall health & vitality, not sentimentality, was my goal that I'd give it a shot. So far it's been a positive experience.
