What is an easy way to overcome caffeine addiction?

I've been a hardcore caffeine addict for years and years, drinking about a pot of coffee everyday. I just went off cold-turkey; yesterday was my last. And today I have a tremendous headache, and I can't move.

I'm also cutting out the alcohol after drinking heavily night after night.

Any advice? I have a lot of things to do, but I can't move.

    The headaches will go away. stopping the use of caffeine will only cause physical symptoms because it is not mentally addictive just physically. even people who have one cup on a random day when it wears get headaches. As for the alcohol that is both mentally and physically addicting. If your use of alcohol was something you did heavily at night and could function sans alcohol the next day the your body should react fine, it will be mentally harder, symptoms like having a hard time sleeping, compulsive eating ( which is due to the drastic change in blood sugar levels from you alcoholic intake) But you know yourself best if withdrawal symptoms become severe, or you experience fever chill or anything of that nature go to the ER and inform them of what is going on or call your PCP

    A pot of coffee isnt hardcore caffiene addiction.

    Maybe buy some pro plus. Have one in the morning to stave off the headache and only take one when you need it.

    Or just man up and go cold turkey.

    I do not consider I used to be hooked on caffeine however awhile again I might drink approximately the equal (two-three sodas an afternoon). The the first thing I did used to be with no trouble not to purchase it. If I did not have it in my apartment whilst I used to be thirsty then it used to be so much less difficult to get a pitcher of water. I additionally love water in order that is helping and once we cross out to eating places I'll order water, or normally scorching water to make a few tea with. Not consuming rapid meals is helping as good considering virtually the whole lot you purchase comes with a soda. In my case abruptly I'd long past months with out ingesting a unmarried soda. I had one loved it and within the final few months I consider I've had possibly two-three (cane sugar simplest!)

    Im sorry you fell for people persistent BS that you're an addict many times uneducated people mistake trauma shock for jest that or misdiagnosed case of the sleepies!

    Jest because someone would rather have a dildo then be taken advantage of repeatedly by a man doesn't make you an addict!
