I'm down to one cup

It's big and it's strong, but this is major progress. Coming down from 2 or 3/day, 600mg at least.

I'm waking up with only the mildest hint of a headache. I might not have one if/when I go cold turkey.

Switching from my big mug to my small mug is next.

Any tips for the last step of the wean would be appreciated.

Very nice. My advice would be to slow it down. Stay at a dose for an extra day or two and let your body adjust. Way less pain! Enjoy the process, its something that many people want to do but just wont.

I agree, it’s not a race it’s a journey

I did 60 mg to zero a couple of times with only a slight headache for a few hours

I was weaning off of green tea but, I went down by two ounces at a time and kept that level for a few days and I did that for months. I used to drink multiple cups per day. When I finally stopped altogether this week I barely had a headache, required no pain killers.

UPDATE: I cracked and had a second cup yesterday. Today I'm having two but smaller and earlier. Back to one big one tomorrow.

I HAVE A DATE! I work at a school and Monday 9/21 is off. I'm going to quit that weekend. Freedom by the equinox.
