How Can I Get Over My Caffeine Addiction?

Question by Anathema-Wrath: How can I get over my caffeine addiction?
I suffer from an addiction to caffeine. I’m used to drinking a coke or 2 a day, along with a cup of coffee on the weekends. I tried to stop, just giving it up all at once, though it lasted only a week. My friends are concerned that I’m not going to be able to throw the addiction, and have tried to help me. Several have gone as far as threatening not to talk to me, or even compairing my addiction to my attraction to them. Any other methods to help me give up caffeine?

Taper it off gradually or you will get the worlds worst headaches as withdrawal symptoms. If your body is used to regular caffeein, cut town from 2 cokes to one a day for a week, from a pot of coffee to half a pot and so on. Caffeein is a physical addiction more then a mental or emotional one so you need to taper off.
