Addicted to coffee - November 30th 2010, 08:40 PM

I am addicted to coffee I think. I really can't have a good day without mass amounts of caffeine.
One day, I had 11 shots of coffee. I have atleast five shots every day.

I don't want to have to rely on coffee/caffeine to get me through my day.

So, any help or advice would be appreciated.

Is it the coffee or the caffeine you're addicted to? Could you get through the day with 5 shots of decaf? If so, you could try switching to that and then gradually coming off it day by day - don't deprive yourself altogether. Go from 5 shots or whatever you have at the moment, lower it down to 4 and so on until you feel more in control.


Maybe it's not my weekend but it's gonna be my year.

It's perfectly fine to be a happy individual.

Take off at the speed of sound...

It is probably the caffeine that you are addicted to. I agree with handgrenadeheart. I would gradually have less each day. Start out with 4 and don't lower to 3 until you feel that you have complete control. Good luck!

I know how you feel ive been a caffeine addict since I was 12 and am trying to stop cold turkey, tired all the time no matter how much sleep i get but im getting better the worst part of withdrawal r the headaches and the headache meds i have also have caffeine. Try stopping slowly lower ur amount per week or day if you think you can.
