Hello, my name is Mikaela, and I have been suffering from severe caffeine addiction to where it interrupts and interferes with my day to day life. It feels like I'm struggling to break away from wanting more and it is hard for me to quit my binges. As of now I am in a halfway house and in a twelve step program, but I feel like it is not helping me break my addiction. I don't know what else to do, and they keep telling me to will it off. It's not working.

It's time for you to Quite, it's time for you to say this is enough! No more!
Once you get addicted to something, you lose your control of simple things you used to do it before, your health is backsliding! That quantity from that thing it owns u, you buy it by your money then it destroys you in RETURN, It is like you are buying your doom by your money! Caffeine is found in coffee and chocolate and some nuts, forcely u are addicted to one of these things, and the best program that u may help you to get rid of ur addiction is the willing, then reducing your daily consuming, for example if u are drinking 4 coffee cups reduce it to 3 and half in the first week, then to 3 till u get rid of ur addiction, by following this simple program your body will get used on the new daily dosage, Caffeine it stimulates the central nervous system, and may cause heart disease! All u have to do is to say "it is time for me to say no more!". Keep repeating it, your brain will believe it, There are some people who chose to know and others chose to believe! |

I am also severely addicted to caffeine. I can't win all of the battles. But I can empathize with you. I just try to realize that it has negative effects on my sleep. But then I get into non-reasoning mode then I drink a cup late at night (of coffee that is). I realize this may not be of much help. But try to release the temptation of caffeine and maybe it'll help. That's what I still struggle with regarding any drug, mostly alcohol and caffeine though. They're just so tempting to use.

Hang in there BubonicPlague and good on you for addressing your addiction. It's a rotten old thing, addiction, I know.
It often takes a bit of time before you start feeling more comfortable about not using your drug of choice and just being in your own skin. Have you considered going to NA meetings? Or perhaps there are Caffeine Anonymous meetings near you? I'm not sure if such a thing as 'CA' exists but whatever - 12 meetings, being around supportive people on the journey of change & recovery outside of the support house, may help to quite some degree because I've been there too, friend. Just keep going, keep going, keep going! Good things await you!
