I'm sorry your first proper day didn't go well. When I was quitting coffee I drank coffee substitute with sugar and rice milk. The caffeine withdrawal only lasted a few weeks for me (max 2) but what I craved was that smooth, warm taste so the substitute did the job. I tried drinking decaf chai tea but it felt too watery. What I like the best is Caro by Nestle. I remember I already told someone here about this drink so if it was you I'm sorry for repeating myself . It's just that I love it so much. It doesn't taste much like coffee but it has a nice, slightly sweet, rich flavor. Once in a while I feel like I really, really need some caffeine so I have a can of Coke/Pepsi. I drink the diet kind because the aspartame actually doesn't affect me as much as the HFCS but I think the UK version might have regular sugar in it. I try not to do this more than once a month and often I can go longer. I used to be a complete addict but lately I found that I don't even like the taste as much anymore. I think it's harder sticking to the diet if you know that sometimes you can get away with a little cheating. I don't mean to underestimate the pain of other people but I surely wouldn't eat something repeatedly if I knew for sure it would make me horribly sick. But sometimes I can eat a little bit of something and be fine; another time a tiny bit makes me suffer for days. I need some consistency in my symptoms, please . Anyway, good luck to you!
