Answer 1

Drink water.
Lots of water.
Drink a glass of water with every cup of coffee.
Actually, two cups of water to every cup of coffee.
Start cleaning out your system with water and vitamins and healthy food like vegetables.
Don't cut down immediately in huge amounts because then you're just going to shock your system.
Cut down slowly.
Start drinking green tea or water or flavoured water.
Anything that doesn't have as much caffeine.
And do some cardio to get your body working up to par.

Answer 2

You need to increase your sleep somehow - 5 hours is not enough.

As for the coffee, decrease it slowly. Substitute a glass of water for a cup of coffee. Drink 2-3 cups less on the first day, then stick with that routine for a week. Then go 2-3 cups less on the next week. You can quit cold turkey, but you'll sleep for quite a while and have a raging headache from withdrawal. If you go slow, you'll feel fatigued the first few days, then get used to less caffiene. Just reduce slowly so you don't "crash".

How can I cut my caffeine intake?

Most people report a very good success ratio by cutting down caffeine intake at the rate of 1/2 cup of coffee a day. This is known as Caffeine Fading. Alternatively you might try reducing coffee intake in discrete steps of two-five cups of coffee less per week (depending on how high is your initial intake). If you are drinking more than 10 cups of coffee a day, you should seriously consider cutting down.
The best way to proceed is to consume caffeine regularly for a week, while keeping a precise log of the times and amounts of caffeine intake (remember that chocolate, tea, soda beverages and many headache pills contain caffeine as well as coffee). At the end of the week proceed to reduce your coffee intake at the rate recommended above. Remember to have substitutes available for drinking: if you are not going to have a hot cup of coffee at your 10 minute break, you might consider having hot chocolate or herbal tea, but NOT decaff, since decaff has also been shown to be addictive. This should take you through the works without much problem.

Some other people quit cold turkey. Withdrawal symptoms are quite nasty this way (see section below) but they can usually be countered with lots of sleep and exercise. Many people report being able to stop drinking caffeine almost cold-turkey while on holidays on the beach. If quitting cold turkey is proving too hard even in the beach, drinking a coke might help.

Answer 4

Start gradually or else you with have headaches from the caffeine withdrawl. If you drink 6-8 cups of coffee a day then try cutting back to half of that for several weeks and then1/2 of that and so on.

Answer 5

The is my best coffee stopper...

When you have the urgency of buying a cup of coffee or mixing one...

Add a dash of salt into your coffee...

Then go to your desk and start working...

You will still smell the fragrant and sweet aroma of coffee... But you will definitely won't like the taste...

If it gets cold... Heat it in a Microwave oven..

Try to finish it... Don't throw the contents... Even for the whole day... Just sip it... Until the end of day...

I'm sure... In 3 torturing days you'll drink less coffee...

And when i say LESS... MUCH LESS!!!

Answer 6

if your stomach hurts when you eat or drink, you may have developed an ulcer and should see a doctor. In the meantime, drink some antacid like Maalox or Mylanta before you eat or drink anything. Switch from coffee to tea.

Answer 7

I have to point out that you should really get checked out by your GP to rule out any underlying physical causes or check for allergies etc.
Caffiene is very addictive as you know. If you drink loads and loads then quiting will cause withdrawal symptoms. I would gradually phase the coffee out to reduce these effects. ie one less cup per day until down to one a day. Then one cup every other day for a few days until quiting.

Answer 8

If you want to stop drinking coffee you must chew plain gum in the morning after you brush your teeth then you must chew it after lunch and do that for about 10 days.You should make this recipe and you will take a big bowl then you add 1 cup of vanilla ice cream. Next you put in 2 cups of strawberries. Next you put in 1 tsp of sugar and 1 tsp of salt. Drink that for about 10 days also. After the 10 days you should gargle salt water for about 5 days then after that you must not buy coffee ever again and you won't have to worry about it.

Answer 9

See your doctor he/she maybe able to help. It maybe the coffee, too much caffeen isnt good for you anyway. Try just drinking water regulary. Do you work nights? Do you know that anyone who works nights shouldnt do this on a perment basis as its damaging to your health. If this is your case you should be having a medical checkup once a year.

Answer 10

As you can see, coffee is an addiction. Cut back or/and switch to green tea, then to herbal tea which is caffeine free.
