caffeine addiction: how can i stop?


Question Posted Tuesday February 6 2007, 8:45 pm

I am overweight, and I love soda. I drink soda, yet I even it out with water and milk. But I want to get healthier. I want to stop drinking soda. How can I stop?

I really like iced tea, Crystal Light, Milk, and flavored water. I can drink that over soda, but I only drink soda for that caffeine urge. Sounds weird but that's the main reason why I am hooked on it. How can I get over my caffeine urges, and start going to merely tea, milk, and water?

HEhe...Organic Green Tea--LOADS OF CAFFEINE!!! I should know because the title fo my life basically yells "Sleep Deprevation Meets Caffeine"

Haha.

For the soda, ask your parents if they stop buying them. And if they do buy them, ask them to get a Coke Zero [no sprite or whatever because they sadly do not have any caffeine]. Coke Zero tastes a little funky at first but you'll get used to it. Ask them to stock up on green tea.

Hmmm usually it takes 10 days for someone to break a habit but I think it would take a little longer. But anywhos, try to carry a bottle of WATER around with you all day so when you're thirsty you'll automatically drink water instead of walking all the way to the far far away fridge. Haha.

First just start drinking less of it.Drink maybe half of what you normally do,and gradually decrease your caffeine intake from there.After you've done this,start drinking caffeine free soda,but still drink it in small amounts.If all goes well after a few weeks,then you can cut the soda out all together :)
