Addicted to Caffine

[Russia]

I am 14 years old and I am addicted to caffeine. I am not trying to be a caffeine poser or anything like that. I am literally for real addicted to it. I had my first monster when I was 13 and it tasted good. So I got another one and drank it. Then everyday I started buying one. Then one year later of the addiction to monster I tried coffee. Like plain coffee without the creamer or anything and it tasted like bull shit. I tried it a 2nd time and it tasted better. Then it tasted delicious. Now I'm addicted to monster and coffee. Then I decided to try red-bull which I always thought tasted like bull shit since I was 13 even with the addiction to caffeine and it tasted delicious.

How do I get rid of the addiction. I don't wanna die from caffeine.

First off, you should really re-post/ask a mod to move this to Personal support & assistance.

From personal experience i know exactly what you mean, last summer and even this summer as well i developed an extreme addiction to energy drinks, i literally drank them all the time, about 2 a day. I'm sure it will be different for you but for me i just once day a realization that wow, i am consuming way to much caffeine. after realizing that it was really just a matter of slowly stopping, i drank less and less until i just stopped. I still have one now and then, and have the craving to drink them all the time but it's all really a matter of a will power.

You don't want to be addicted to caffeine? Then stop ingesting it. You'll have a headache for a few days, it'll suck, you'll get over it.

I am only addicted to drinks like Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew, etc... However they are still very high in caffeine.

However, I am starting to stop and drinking less pop day after day.

Go to the store and buy Sobe LifeWaters. They are great sources of vitamins, have NO caffeine, and taste delicious. (0 calories and 0 calories on most flavors, others have a very low amount)

I figured they wouldn't be good, but after I drank them to begin with it was amazing.

Try these flavors:
Strawberry Dragonfruit
Yumberry Pomegranate
Fruit Punch Acai ( I think, something like that lol)

They are delicious though, I suggest you try them.

Don't go cold turkey or just drink something else when you feel like some caffeine.

How do you explain me drinking coffee then? I used to hate it since it was super bitter, now I don't even taste the bitterness.

Try to slowly come off of the caffeine, as you don't want to suddenly just cut caffeine out of your diet. When you are craving a drink that's high in caffeine try to drink water instead. I know trying to stop addictions like this are not easy as you may think, and it's going to take alot of willpower to eat/drink the right things. Also when making coffee try to slowly come off and start drink decaf instead. Good luck!

I'm not really a Caffeine Poser, I just don't do energy drinks.
this is how many soda's I drank so far tonight, it's not even a weekend...

Dude once you do quit for real, don't ever drink another.
I've quit a few times, went to str8 up water for months.
But the crisp flavors just pwn the flat bland piss water taste

so yeah as they say "Quit Cold Turkey" and just deal with the withdraw
Take Tylenol or Advil, WITH WATER, lulz.

Caffeine is a drug and like any other addictive substance is very hard to quit cold turkey.

What i suggest you do is drink one less monster/coffee/red bull you normally would every day until you gradually slip off of it. If you feel the urge to drink a monster or anything like that grab a caffeine free soda or even a water. Try to keep occupied all day.

hope this helped

I'd suggest stop buying it, and spend your money else where. If you don't have access to it, you'll stop all together. Ask your mother to invest in a water cooler dispenser.

 

[Dr. James]

Energy Drinks are legal, don't quit them, just be glad you're not addicted to something serious like marijuana. As long as you don't have more than 2 drinks a day you're medically fine.

Mj, is not addicting..

Ontopic:
Try to wean yourself off it?

My friend got a kidney stone from drinking to many monsters, Try to imagine that you have to piss out a rock, Bet that'll help.

 

[Konner for 2012]

I used to drink a lot of soda as well, I mean, a 12-pack per day.

Gradually start to drink less and less- get help from an adult who can moderate your caffeine intake though. If you go cold turkey, you'll get an absolutely ridiculous headache from withdrawals.

I recommend Arizona teas or lifewaters over soda anyday now. Plus, no caffeine.

Water is good, better than caffeine my friend, and its free! An energy drink or a coffee a day will definitely not kill you, though you will start to see gained weight if you don't stay active.

 

[kid elvranqe]

try buying decaf coffee and drinking vitamin water/sobe water. it should help deal with coming off the caffeine addiction.
also chewing gum helps alot. when i stopped dipping i had headaches for days because my body craved nicotine but chewing gum helped me trick my brain.
try it, and once you stop, dont start again. unless its JAGER BOMBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAHHHHH!

That won't cure his addiction, and no doubt you thought that was funny.

As someone said earlier up the page, try replacing caffeine and energy drinks with something that tastes great without caffeine. You're more addicted to the flavour than the caffeine.
