Not proud to admit but I average 8 cups of coffee a day, my tolerance is through the roof. I also pound coffee in the morning because I'm so groggy from my night time meds. Can't be good for you! So I'm cutting back to six, then hopefully 4, then 2 strong cups. Weening seems like a good option.
Plus the price of coffee is outrageous, even the cheapo Folgers is $10 for the large.
I think because people think it's "All or nothing" when it comes to self-improvement, weening is an underrated methodology. If taking small steps leads to bigger steps down the line I think it's a healthy and viable pathway to a goal. Best of luck and be well!
