I'm starting to get addicted to coffee. I started drinking it every morning for the past month not to wake me up but just because it tastes good. But now when I dont drink it in the morning I start getting headaches. Should I stop from now? And deal with the headaches or should I just stop later because the headaches will just be the same? I dont know what to do. I tried drinking decaff thinking that maybe mentally I'll be satisfied with coffee without the caffeine but its the caffeine I need now!

I think you should definitely switch it up, like maybe start drinking tea in the mornings.  It still has caffeine, but not near as much as coffee.

I say drink the decaff and deal with the headaches, they're only going to last a week or so and then you'll be fine. Take a Tylenol

I agree with Cody. Your getting caffeine withdrawals. They wont get easier with time and they also wont stay the same. Your going to start needing more and more caffeine and cutting off even a small amount will hurt. Deal with the headaches now and the'll be gone soon and you wont have to deal with any of this. Stick to the decaff if you like the taste that much.
