yeah man . good adviceReally glad to hear that!
I quit and I was taking several suppliments with caffeine and drinking about 6 cups of 3/4 strength coffee. You can do it. Herb definitely helps. I had very little withdrawl, but I would taper off just to make it easy like you said.
Yeah just get active and if you're tired just get to bed earlier or take naps. Also turning off devices an hour or so before bed helps your sleep pattern. CBD oil really helps me get sound sleep, I noticed, so I alway take half a mL of 1000 Mg/oz oil.
environemental stress makes me drink coffee all day long. i don't take meds , and i never will , so the caffeine stimulates my serotonin and so forth. i can't sleep if i don't have a coffee . thats how much coffee i have been drinking.
us addicts are not normal mate . often we are quite well educated on the matter too
we all have problems so i won't bore everyone too much
Its good you have homegrown herb to help therapy during the transition off of caffeine. May look into CBD Hemp oil if you can afford it. You want full spectrum oil and spagyric extraction if you can find it.
7 Potential Health Benefits of Cannabis
With the launch of JWU's new Cannabis Entrepreneurship program, we're exploring the research around the health benefits of CBD, a component of the cannabis plant.

I have seen recommendations that say if using medicinal cannabis as a threapy to use 1 mg cbd per mg thc. That may not be possible with high potency dabs! But anyway, thats the recommendation to get maximum benefit for inflamation and stuff. It fills all the endocannabinoid system up.

one step at a time. i have been cutting down cannabis too. i'm cutting the ganja way back down to just using a dab in evening
caffeine reduction to zero , and hydrate myself properly is the first step . once i get addicted to that , i'm in the groove
i look at addiction etc as super powers

Not a bad idea to smoke in the evenings. Thats what I normally . Will help get your tolerance in check so you don't have to smoke so much.
Sweet greens mix and mushroom drink mixes are here with all my suppliments. I think thats what I switched to. Nothing wrong with addictive superpowers. Thats how we get good at stuff. Basketball, whatever you want to do.

If you are trying to cut back on cannabis, I would switch to flower. Also, you could allow yourself a couple puffsa occasionally throughout the day of flower, and it will help therapy. Once every 15 minutes is what I read, need to find the website. Keeps you from overdosing cannabis.

shiva mate, trust me on this one cause i'm just in the middle of it and it works way better than i expected.
i stopped drinking coffee 2 or 3 weeks ago, only the first day after quitting sucked, big headache all day. the day after that i slept so hard i was completely knocked out, i wouldnt wake up if you started shaking me.
i was just quitting to get back to my basic level and check if stress and general unwellnes would go away. it did.
now, by accident i found out how to use caffeine properly, and this shit is true, been doing this the last 3 days now and it does the trick so far .
no coffee straight after waking. wait for one and a half to two hours, i'm not bullshitting you.
Then drink a big ass coffee, 3mg caffeine per kilo of bodyweight works good, ive read that you can do even 6mg. i drink like 3 espressos.
Youll be good to go all day, no crash in the afternoon. caffeine has a halflife of 5 hours and quarter life of 14.
it blocks some stuff in your brain that usually makes you tired. but once it wears off the tiring stuff kicks in and the fuckers will stack up to a super high level and you only postpone their effects, theyre right there in line waiting for the caffeine to leave the place so they can crash. you need to get that out completely before you ingest caffeine.
so wake up, do some exercise or whatever, get some sunlight and then blow your brains into caffeine heaven.
even better on an empty stomach!
edit:
i feel like on anti depressants all day, in a good way.
also all things sugar will make you feel like crap eventually, i cut back on that too completely, i'm a bit of a fatty so i avoid all major sources of carbohydrates and i feel a lot better than i used to a couple weeks ago.
if i would work out carbs would be ok i guess, but no sweets.
