Funny this thread was revived. I'm on my second week sans caffeine now. I'm not addicted to coffee, but having 5-8 large cups of coffee at work wasn't good for my stress level or mood when I came home.
I usually take a couple of "white weeks" each year, but this is the first time I've suspected the caffeine to affect my mood.
It could be a coincident, but I feel much calmer during the evenings now and my "fuse" isn't that short. A welcome change as I was beginning to fell like "Angry dad" the moment I came home from work.
My goal is to go without caffeine until Christmas- It's (almost) impossible to stay away from coffee during all the visits, cakes and good food
