Like the author, habitual coffee drinking gives me significant anxiety. I didn't call it that, when I figured it out in my early twenties - I said "jittery" - but it's elevated heart-rate, so same diff (that's something else we said back in the nineties).
What the author doesn't mention (and maybe didn't experience, but you might) is that quitting can cause splitting headaches. The two or three times I've gotten off caffeine have been miserable. I've felt worse, for longer, than the two or three times I've gone off nicotine.
A bonus effect, however, is that when I do take caffeine - usually when I need to stay alert driving at night or early morning - it's far more effective.
