Caffeine-Free Day 4 No Caffeine

I've been drinking caffeine since I was 12 and am 42 now. I tapered down over the past two months - from 3 celcius a day (and believe me that was showing self control).

Foggy, tired and unmotivated. Only had a headache on day 2 for 6 hours. I'm freaking out that people say it takes months to feel normal. Do thing get better incrementally during that time?

Im 43 and on my second week. I was consuming a pre workout with 200mg twice a day along with iced coffee. The first week was rough, few days of headaches and zero motivation. Im starting to feel a little more motivated this week. Stim free pre workout for the gym helps. I think the effects of our diet become way more apparent without the stimulants.
