Coffee is bad for health as in addiction so how to quit sipping coffee when one is addicted and getting fixes

Question

everyday without fail?

Don't tell me substitution for something else. It don't work; it's the mental hurdle.

Answer 1

It's about desire. When you want something badly enough you will do what it takes to accomplish it. If you feel strongly enough to quit drinking coffee, even though you love it, you will do it. Try cognitive therapy. You may have thought patterns that hold you back from accomplishing your goals. Cognitive therapy is designed to tackle those problems.

Answer 2

I started smoking and drinking coffee in the military 30 years ago. Ever since then, if I was awake I had a cigarette going and a cup of coffee in my hand. 2 years ago I quit them both. I was so bad, I needed to drink a cup of coffee before going to bed so I could sleep better.

Quitting caffeine was much harder to quit than nicotine.

I tried to estimate how many grams of caffeine I drank in a normal day. I then went to a drug store and bought caffeine pills.
On the day I quit coffee I started taking the same amount of caffeine in pill form. After several days I cut my caffeine dose in half. I kept cutting my dose in half every few days till after about 2 weeks I quit them altogether.

However, I was in kind of a low level comma for about a year. It was like I was narcoleptic. I could lay down in the floor and go to sleep anywhere at anytime.

I truly believe that the brain cells that have functioned all these years under the influence of the artificial stimulant, basically stopped functioning without being in that stimulated state. My brains neuralgic pathways needed to remap themselves in order for me to function again. It has been terribly difficult for me. I was a major caffeine addict.

My metabolism slowed down, so I noticeably naturally gained weight. I reversed my weight gain by becoming more carb conscience about what I eat, and bought a bicycle and started riding it 10miles a day.

Even though I no longer do caffeine there are several things I've learned.

Drinking decaffeinated soft drinks is more satisfying than cafinated soda. If I drink say 1 diet coke, I immediately want another diet coke. But, if I drink a diet caffeine free soda I am totally satisfied by drinking only one. And, if I drink 3 caffeine sodas in one afternoon or evening, I wake up then next morning with a hangover like headache from the caffeine with-drawls.

I still have uncontrollable urges for hot drinks. I will drink hot decaf coffee, tea, and even lemonade.

I am glad that I have made it through this lifestyle change.
And, I hope that I haven't scared you off from trying it too.
I am an extreme example of how quitting caffeine affects you. But if I can do it, I know anyone can, if they really want to.

Good Luck

COFFEE AND BRONCHIAL ASTHMA
REDUCED RISK OF STONE FORMATION (kidney stones)
ALERTNESS AND MOOD

Other positive health effects of coffee/caffeine range from its use:

as a topical treatment of atopic dermatitis
as a booster of pain-free walking for patients with chronic stable angina
as an early warning of the risk of falling into a diabetic coma in those dependent on insulin
in the prevention of postprandial hypotension in elderly patients
as a good dietary source of potassium

Answer 4

Most of the addiction is to the caffiene. 1. Switch to decaf.
2. Switch to tea.
If substitution doesn't work, it's because you don't want to quit drinking coffee. You have to want, really want, to give up any addiction. When you do, then anything to substitute for what you want to give up will be a help.
It's your mind, and only you can control it.

Answer 5

the caffine may be bad but there are some perks to drinking coffee. You should look online before you try to kick the habit for good. Why give up something you love if in the end it might be helping you with something else.

Answer 7

I'm sorry I can't help you, I am very addictive to COFFEE. I love it drink it every day at least once a day. I also go to Star Bucks at least 3 times a week and have a Caramel Machiato with an extra shot of espresso. My hubby tells me I need to stop but it's easier said than done..

Answer 8

If you read any medical reports, everything is bad for your health. I happen to enjoy java myself and plan on drinking it for the rest of my life. Really, the only thing that might help if you want to quit is cutting down your proportions gradually until you ween yourself off.

Just poor semen into every cup...

Answer 10

I puzzled, did you no longer seem for the steam that could have been coming up from warm coffee? Did you no longer see the pot grew to become into no longer finished? once you poured the coffee into your cup, did you no longer be conscious that the cup grew to become into no longer heat to touch?
