Aw, such a great post. So encouraging. I'm in the middle of quitting caffeine. I think that the energy boost from a 7am coffee can somewhat help you in the 10am part of a hard interview, but really work against you during the 2pm phase when it is wearing off. Your adrenaline is fading, the coffee is fading, your anxiety is peaking... I think sometimes it puts you in a state where your thinking ability is totally at its lowest but you don't even realize it. The bad news is, the only way to avoid that trap is to escape your caffeine addiction beforehand, which can take 3 months or more to fully get free of. The good news is, it is wonderful to be free of it!
