Most of what you mention isn't actually normal for most people. But it is possible to tailor your info feed to make it seem like it's normal.

2/3 of Americans drink coffee. I’ll grant you the rest of the list though.
I was on oxycodone for about 6 weeks for a growth inside my knee. After it was removed, I had to wean off the drugs. Wasn't too bad, took less than a week.
Soon after I thought I'd try to kick the caffeine habit. Went from 4 cups, to 1 over a month, then just green tea, then just water. I only lasted about 6 weeks on water only.
My god. I couldn't believe how unmotivated, soulless, and empty I felt. Judging by the reddit sub for kicking caffeine, this can last for over a year. It's terrifying
When I stopped coffee it was 3 days of being tired and that was it. Which, from what I read, was to be expected normal.

I drink about 3 cups of tea a day and no caffeine on the weekends. The reason I don’t have it on the weekends is because it’s not part of my weekend morning routine and I don’t even notice it’s missing.
Imagine how hard it would be to kick oxy if you were taking it every day for 20 years. Habits and addictions get ingrained with time.
We've also been drinking coffee for a long, long time.
To be pedantic, we've also been prescribing opioids since Ancient Sumer, 8,000 years ago.
