pull down to refresh

I drank coffee daily for 25+ years and quit cold turkey because my wife said she wanted to go off caff so I decided to try it with her.
I was super confused about the leg pains I got....the first few days I thought I may've pulled a hamstring, but couldn't figure out how. Finally I googled "leg pain caffeine withdrawal" and saw that its a common thing.
I've been off caffeine for about a year and overall feel better (more even energy throughout day). However I love coffee so even tho I drink decaf its just not the same as real coffee.
I've been thinking I may just make my own 1/2 caf blend with good beans....the question becomes, once I start will I just go back to my old ways? hmmm...
I didn't think about decaf as an option. I really love the ritual of coffee but it sucks me in and I tend to over do it once I start. The leg pain thing is interesting.

Every time I quit and used caffeine in a crisis, thinking that’d be it, I went right back to chasing the teeth chattering dragon.
