Well, if you're worried about consuming too much caffeine, then drink de-caffeinated coffee.
I didn't know coffe was addictive.

I don't really see your problem though, what do you want help with?

[ackmedsgirl666]

caffeine is considered a drug and if you try and withdrawl from it your body will go crazy in your case make you do crazy stuff..

my advice to you.. stop eating coffee creamer its bad for you.....
and dont quit cold turkey from drinking coffee.. just try and cut back and dont drink so much... i was the same way.. i was addicted to 4x4 coffees from tim hortons
it took me so long to get over the addiction but it eventually surpassed

Loads of people are pretty much addicted to caffeine by the time they are grown up and don't recognise a problem, so it's good you have.
Try cutting back slowly and gradually, you're coming off a drug.
See a doctor, they may be able to help with coming off it and dealing with the stress.
Good luck :)

how does eating creamer which has no caffeine make up for skipping coffee?

Caffeine withdrawal can cause drowsiness, depression and/or stress, all of which can by extension cause odd cravings.
You can choose to either wean yourself off of it or quit cold turkey. I'd recommend switching to decaf (placebo effect may help out) for about two weeks, and then trying to cut down on the amount that you are drinking.

I really hope you can beat this! Much love xx.

its funny, you see a thread about someone smoking cannabis and then all these flamers come hating on them saying how it will end your life yet here is this thread about this guy who is ADDICTED to coffee and no one says a thing. Did you know caffeine is more addictive then MDMA? Did you know it causes up to 10 000 deaths annually in the states alone? Did you know most people addicted to caffeine arent even aware of it? Did you know caffeine has worse withdrawal symptoms then many recreational drugs? Sorry i just find it really funny people absolutely flame people for consuming cannabis on a regular basis when it a) has no addictive potential (physically - anything can be mentally addictive) and b) has never killed anyone. Also, caffeine can attribute to cancer growth.

To the OP - you cant just stop drinking coffee cold turkey or your going to get those nasty withdrawal symptoms you are experiencing. You shouldnt think that this is any less of an addiction then alcohol or the likes, its exactly the same. You must slowly cut down consumption, say one less cup a day until you finally arent drinking any. It is all about will power my friend!

I'd rather be addicted to caffeine than weed as for the post try drinking something like Gatorade or caffeine free coke or decaf coffee

cannabis is not physically addictive and has no withdrawal symptoms, caffeine on the other hand does. They are listed above and if youve ever smoked weed for a period of time then stopped you would know its way better then having to quit drinking coffee everyday.

coffee is my crack... I cant do anything without it

[LiamShelley96]

thats interesting... of a morning it usually wakes me up but if i don't have it of the morning i feel just drowsy all day even after school

The first step to stopping is to begin weening yourself off of it. If you just..try to immediately stop, the cravings will only get worse. Limit yourself.
