Its really hard to be in charge of your own taper, self control is usually lacking in substance abuse situations.

i mean it’s caffeine, not nicotine, and even with nicotine a good amount of people manage to taper down usage. You don’t get addicted to caffeine, you get dependent, which is much easier to handle.

There isn’t much of a difference between addiction and dependence, if any. Some find abstinence is more successful than tapering, but it really depends on the person. Tapering isn’t as simple as you might think either, many fail due to incorrect methodology rather than willpower.
