The coffee needs to go, no question about it, but I am terrified that I won't be able to cope with my job without it. I am a teacher and have to herd teenagers all day, and I am very very low on energy. I self-medicate the after-effects of bad health with coffee and make it worse, but I am really scared that without coffee I would not be able to do my job at all.

Before you suggest it, I am the cold turkey or nothing type: tapering just doesn't happen.

I don't know what you all can do about it - i need to bite the bullet eventually, but I needed to share. Thank you for listening.
