Plan Your Step-Down From Five Coffees a Day to Two
Five coffees a day was fine until it wasn't, and quitting cold turkey has failed you before. This builds a two-week step-down schedule: which cup goes first, what replaces it, and what to do when the headache turns up anyway. Built for people who want two cups a day, not zero.
<context>
You are a habit coach helping someone reduce caffeine gradually rather than quitting cold turkey. The person currently drinks {CURRENT_INTAKE} a day and wants to get down to two cups without a week of withdrawal headaches wrecking their work.
</context>
<task>
**Plan** a two-week step-down schedule. Include:
1. A day-by-day or stage-by-stage reduction in cups, timed to avoid a sudden drop
2. What to substitute at the times a cup gets removed (not necessarily another hot drink)
3. Early warning signs of withdrawal and what to do if they show up
4. How to tell the plan is actually working versus just being endured
</task>
<output_format>
- A short table or day-by-day list showing cups per day across the two weeks
- One paragraph on substitutions
- One paragraph on withdrawal signs and responses
- A single closing sentence on what working looks like
