I have mostly released myself from caffeine dependency for two very specific reasons:

1) I feel amazing each morning (sleep/apnoea dependent) and not a growling husk, without coffee.

2) Indulging the odd caffeine boost feels like a performance-enhancing super power.

Still love coffee. Still regularly drink water-processed decaf. Still have all the expensive gear and still part of The Club!

@Donzanoid We've found creatine really helps eliminate morning brain fog, but we're vegetarian where supplementation has a greater evidentiary basis.

@dougbinks Thankfully I don't get that, as early morning (5am+) is when my brain is at its most active.

Caffeine dependence used to cancel that out and I'd feel relative bored and unmotivated most mornings.

@dougbinks @Donzanoid what are you using for the creatine? Been considering doing a caffeine detox as with the bairn I am using it more and more as a crutch.
