I recommend shaking the addiction. Due to a very bad run-in with acid
reflux, I pretty much had to give coffee up cold turkey for almost a
year.

After a month of not drinking it (which was a bit rough), I found that
my energy level was much better (and my stomach and esophagus were
much happier), and that I actually functioned better without morning
stimulants.

I'm back into drinking it, but only on an occasional basis, and find
that I am now enjoying it a lot more than I used to (and, on the rare
occasions that I do need a pick-me-up, it's a *lot* more effective
than it used to be).
