Congratulations... just don't get discouraged if you didn't "sleep great." Insomnia is one of the major symptoms of caffeine withdrawal.

Interestingly, I went through killer caffeine withdrawal several times when I was young (off a 2-3 cup a day habit, it doesn't have to be a lot), but later on (and pre-menopause) I've quit coffee with no symptoms at all. I don't even touch the stuff now, because I've seen how addiction creeps back up on me.

I do drink green tea and the occasional decaf, so I'm not caffeine-free, but much less than coffee or pop. I didn't notice any of the touted benefits of quitting coffee (less inflammation, weight loss), but I do sleep much better and my body is noticeably cleaner.
