HELP! Addicted to caffeine, I know its not that bad but still... Options

[pkbabe]

Gahh...been a while since I've mad a topic (hooray for me LOL jk) but yea.

Stupid college has been making me tired/sleepy so lately I've been drinking coffee on a daily basis. Most of the time I buy it @ either Coffee Bean or when I'm feeling cheap @ the school kiosk. I've been just drinking it like nothing whenever I'm on break or when I'm studying & for me its feels weird to study without it. Long story short, its my inanimate study buddy . It actually has gotten me focused on school (like doing hw & such)

I'm @ work now & I haven'y had coffee all day & I'm so freakin tired. Also I keep seeing things that aren't there (nothing weird like fairies or that kind of junk) but when I type up stuff I keep writing the worng things. Worst of it, I had to recently make some coffee for my dad (yes I work for my dad) & I wanted to just drink the whole pitcher of it! But I can't since technically I'm not allowed to drink coffee for this very reason & plus he has a client coming by so yea...

I think I may get some coffee when I come home from my choir practice(work & practice makes my fridays very long) just so I kick that kick back in me.

So yes...I know in the long run it will do me harm so I rather quit sooner rather than later when my dependancy is still fresh. Any suggestions? Thanks much

First off, are you even managing your time well? Or are you procrastinating on your assignments? Maybe a better management of your time could reduce the lack of stress and therefore the caffeine intake.

I would just slowly quit, don't stop too fast. Cut down your cups by 1, then by 2 after maybe a couple days, then 3 and then so on, til you are only dependent on maybe 1 cup or so. That's the best i can think of right now.
