Give Up Caffeine

Giving up an addiction can be one of the hardest that you will ever do. There are rehab programs for giving up alcohol and drugs. There are many patches and prescriptions for giving up cigarettes. But no one has created anything to deal with caffeine addiction.








Instructions


Take it Day by Day


1. Spend one day drinking caffeine as you would normally do. Keep a journal with you at all times and write down exactly how much caffeine you drink over the course of this day.


2. Look at this number. Cut the number in half. This is the amount of caffeine that you will drink tomorrow. It is easier to give up this addiction by slowly weaning yourself off of it.


3. Go through the next day and follow the amount of caffeine that you are allowed perfectly. Staying to strict guidelines will help you achieve your goals.








4. Alternate your caffeinated beverages with a glass of water. This will help to weaken the effect they have on your system, making it easier to cut back later.


5. Cut the amount of caffeine from the previous day in half. Continue to keep reducing the amount of caffeine in half every day until you no longer consume any caffeine.
