Is there a net benefit that you see, ignoring the fact that you're no longer dependent?
I've stopped a half dozen times, for around a month each time, but I found that I like the way my brain functions with coffee. The risk of a headache seems like a net win for me, in the grand scheme, especially since I try to do what I can to reduce the risk of dementia and Alzheimers.

I cut back because I found that I couldn't go a day without it without a massive headache.
Took me 2 weeks to stop craving coffee. And about a month until I started to feel right.
I still have the occasional coffee but don't drink it every day. I like it this way.
I miss it like I missed cigarettes after I quit those.

I suppose for me the net benefit is I can do without it. I don't like the feeling of being dependent on something.
I like that I can just get up and go do something without having to get a coffee to stave off a headache and be fully functional.
Like I say I'm not t-total I just have a different relationship with coffee now, one where I'm in control and I can use it rather than needing it.
