I just quit completely a few days ago, and while the fatigue is overwhelming sometimes, the calm is worthwhile. Unless your job precludes it (long distance driving, piloting etc) it's probably worth a two week trial of no-caffeine.

I also think teas are a terrible substitute. The closest I came was chicory which is .. an acquired taste.

I use coca tea, which is legal where I live (Bogota). It's much gentler and whole-body than coffee, which at least for me is very head-and-cardio focused. It doesn't provide a buzz, it just keeps me from feeling irresistibly sleepy. (I'm still almost always sleepy, at least at this 2800-meter altitude, but it's tolerable.)

Have you tried Rooibos? I find it just as good as black tea, great with a dash of milk and none of the caffeine.

Have you tried redbush (Rooibos) tea? It scratches the itch for me .
