I gave up coffee for Lent last year. It was the most excruciating time ever. I was irritable the whole time, I couldn't focus, and I felt like crap all of the time. It took about 3 weeks to get over the symptoms of withdrawl before I was "ok." The 4th week, I was just blah. After that, I started up with coffee again.

Sounds to me like you are strongly affected by coffee. It can't be good to be so dependent on anything.

Maybe you should try giving it up more slowly in the future. Reduce in-take gradually.
