Two or three weeks before I have to stop drinking coffee. What should I have before then?

☕ - The hot beverage that powers the world!
Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!
Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.
pay attention to tapering off the caffeine or find a replacement you can handle (ex. tea or yerba mate) – caffeine withdrawal is no joke
No doubt... I'll be ready.
If it is any reassurance, it's a fairly brief and mild withdrawal. In my experience the symptoms were gone by day 3, which was a lot easier than the 7 solid days of hell I went through when quitting nicotine.
For me the withdrawal symptoms only start on day 2, I can do one day without caffeine just fine, but then it lasts ~3 days. Wouldn't call it mild though, I had some really severe headaches. On the other hand side I never used any other addictive substances, so I wouldn't be able to compare.
I quit drinking caffeine earlier this year and, despite having lower anxiety across the board and more of a work ethic, I got in a car accident for the first time in 25 years of driving.
Now I’m skeptical that I’m back to normal when the withdrawal wears off. I’ve been drinking coffee since I was 8 years old, and I think my brain is very adapted to it
