I'm trying to quit nicotine again after a semi-successful attempt a couple of months ago, and I thought, if I'm going to go through withdrawals for this, maybe it would be worth it to quit caffeine while I'm at it?

Is it worth it though? Do the cons of a caffeine addiction outweigh the pros?

    I'm just super dependant on it, and I have terrible anxiety and sleep quality, which caffeine surely doesn't help with. I just want to break the daily dependence and habit.

      Swap to tea. The rituals just as good, if not better, and it won't hit you in the anxiety button.

      Green tea specifically even tends to help me a bit, plus you can get into herbals which can settle anxiety stomach troubles if you get that.

      The tea suggestions are good. I have trouble sleeping if I have coffee 12hr before going to bed. 8hr is the half life of caffeine but 12 is quarter I think and that is where it can still impact quality and ease of falling asleep
