I think my girlfriend is addicted to Caffiene Pills. She is very touchy when it comes to me asking her to change because her ex-boyfriend was terrible to her and now she has a confidence problem. She never thinks she is good enough. She is very easily influenced, and if not for my disapprovial, she may experiment with other drugs. I find this to be a very big problem not because she would be experimenting, but because i think she is very weak minded and easily addictable. How do I get her to stop using caffiene pills without her lying to me and using behind my back or her flipping out? Is it even a problem?

Yes it is a problem.
First she needs to get counselling about her self esteem problems, and to put her troubles with her old bf behind her.
She has to realized that she has a problem. If her old bf was controlling, she will rebell against suggestions.
"The Feeling Good Book" is the best help with low self esteem and it's problems.
Try to get one of her gfs to talk with her so it doesn't all just come from you. Being a bf and a counsellor is too much weight to carry, try to get help.

I suggest you go to Al Anon or a similar group for people who have addicts in their lives. There is such a judgmental tone in your question, I think the first thing to do is adjust your attitude through help like this organization offers. I am a new member and what hell I could have saved myself had I gone decades ago. The more an addict or alcoholic is watched, judged and pushed, the worse they will become. Sad, but true. You have a choice of whether you want this is your life.

Yes it is a problem. But until she's ready to stop being an addict, you can't do a thing for her.
Unless you're willing to use a little tough love. Tell her that you won't be seeing her again until she decides she's ready to quit. THEN come support her. But in the meanwhile, don't be an enabler.
Good luck.

The first answer was totally correct, you cannot get her to stop. She has to want to do it on her own.
You either live with her addiction and her addictive nature, or you find another girl.
