off topic, but i quit coffee just about a year ago. entered a workplace wellness challenge where one of the ways to score points was to drink water (the other ways were to exercise and i just ain't so good at that crap). so i quit coffee, once in a while about every 3 months i will get a cheap iced mocha latte for the road if tired. before that i drank coffee for my whole life, at least a 10 cup pot a day. got degree in seattle back in the 90's belltown grunge days so i know starbucks and SBC when that was just becoming a thing. in alaska it was that 50 cup pot of cheap crap, add a packet of hot chocolate and 2 cubes of sugar to keep you going for another hour. now i just drink water and don't miss coffee at all. it was surprisingly easy.
I guess it's like any other drug. Some are susceptible to addiction. Some aren't. I'm not one who "needs" a cup of coffee every day so I probably could quit anytime if I wanted to. 
If anything I am addicted to the morning routine and the challenge of making a good batch. Ever notice that the 1st cup is always the best and the rest are just filler?
But some get withdrawals, headaches, etc., as has been mentioned in this thread. That hasn't happened to me yet, but I only drink 2 - 3, sometimes 4, cups a day.

congrats to the burro! I found that so long as I limit myself to 2 cups caf a day, I can go cold turkey at any point no painful consequences. But....since I still like coffee as hot flavorful drink, I still drink pot of small 4cu coffeemaker (yeah, I still autobrew) each morning, mix of caf and decaf, pot size helps me keep the overall intake down to that level or less, and can still go cold turkey anytime, voluntarily or involuntarily.
I use a Mr. Coffee Daily!
