Maybe you should limit them to three, then, two, then one. Did you know drinking and 8 oz. cup of caffeine can prevent Alzheimer's disease? Maybe you should have someone like a friend help keep you away from the coffee house. Hope it helps!

I too love the java, even have my own french press (makes the best tasting coffee, hands down), even still, if I have more than 3 cups, I'm usually jittery, which isnt very fun
Here are some ideas
- Get a good nights sleep
- fight through the few days of being tired, your body is used to the caffine, and you need to flush it out of your system a bit
- switch to decaf, trick your body a bit
- work at starbucks

Sounds like you are addicted to the caffeine. You may want to drink an energy drink, which may boost your energy level even better. I drink a protein drink and that helps a lot.
You are lucky you only drink four to five cups of coffee a day. My mum drinks the whole dang pot!

Yes, if you stop You will be tired, But that will only last for a week till the caffeine's out of your system. Your body has become dependent on coffee and so needs it just to function normally.
If I were you I'd put up with the tiredness for a week and stop drinking the coffee, it's the right thing to do....but of course you already know that. Good luck.

First, stop looking so great in your picture. :)
Ok, so back to the coffee, do you get regular exercise? That's a way that a lot of people pick themselves up and get an energy boost during the day when they're feeling sluggish.
The coffee dehydrates you, so you'll definitely have an adjustment period when you make a change. Give it a week or so, and you'll start feeling less tired.
Good luck!

Addiction involves being habituated to a certain practice. The drug with greatest number of people who are addicted to it then, is caffeine, since it is the most commonly used drug. However, few people experience a degree of social and functioning problems to qualify as being clinically dependent on caffeine; thus there is no official diagnosis of caffeine dependence. But there is a category for caffeine-related disorders to cover caffeine intoxication and caffeine withdrawal, both conditions being based on exhibiting an ample number of symptoms.
Caffeine functions a central nervous system stimulant and also a diuretic.
The rate of absorption of the drug is dependent on one's size, weight and tolerance (which rises with increased consumption of the drug). Caffeine is absorbed and distributed quickly. Once absorbed, it passes into the central nervous system, stimulating it and producing the well-documented effect of alertness. Excessive caffeine intake though, can lead to a fast heart rate, excessive urination, nausea and vomiting, restlessness, anxiety, depression, tremors, difficulty sleeping, loss of calcium and potassium resulting in a longer recovery after exercising.
Abrupt withdrawal of caffeine may cause headaches, drowsiness, irritability, nausea, vomiting, and other symptoms. Reduce caffeine intake gradually to prevent any symptoms of withdrawal.

If you've been addicted to it, there's gonna be a withdrawal period that you'll have to put up with. Replace your coffee addiction with water--it's hard at first but you'll probably end up feeling better for it. Aslo, drink juice or a fruit smoothie in the morning to give you some sugar to wake you up.

you have to slowly wean yourself from it. try drinking your first cup, then the second cup mix reg and caffeine free and mix and keep doing it for a few days and slowly start mixing them and lower the mix slowly, you will feel a little bad at first but one must be strong. it is impossible and painful to go cold turkey....be brave

DRINK, DRINK, DRINK...I drink 5 cup's before work, and take 2 thermos bottles with me, and when I get home I make another pot for supper....I am with you...I totally love it and will never give it up....A doctor told me that only 2 cups a day will give you energy, but anything after that will only tend to take you down....Forget him....

Love, Love, Love coffee, I'd never give it up, but maybe you should consider decaf if you are worried about it.
Sorry, I have to go make another pot now that you brought this up.
Good Luck.
