CHRONIC COFFEE DEPENDENCY

Posted by ryan2828 on January 29, 2007, at 8:14:45

I am lost
I have heard all the remedies switch to decaf, try half decaf, maybe grean tea, eat better and the rest, including drink water. I know about these already the fact is I still cannot change over from my day long night long coffee drinking. I dont drink it just in the morning to wake up but I work graveyard and I drink a ton of it more than normal people.
I am recovered 9 years from alchohol/pot and doing fine with the hard drugs. I am on Effexor 225xr and Ritalin

Here is my rant

I feel great very good after the first few sips into my coffee I get alert feel more happy problem is soon that goes away and I end up losing that good mood. I dont care what the media says coffee may not cause health problems but it sure is a psychological addiction to me and physical too.

I figured the reason I get so agitated and angry is when the coffee wears off I drink alot of water but the good mood the focus I had turns to foggy clouded mess in my head, that makes me frusterated, its my hand that picks up that cup to drink, and I wonder why I did drink it when the coffee wears off. AT first I take a drink of coffee and I say yes this is what I need now, until it goes away

what I mean is I experience a rollercoaster all day up and down up and down figuring in a soda 1 suger and about 3 diet per day.

so there is little support out ther for caffiene addict, not like for smokers not like for eating its just as I see it not available no support groups no anything I am very confused I drink alot of water I take siberian ginseng, I dont smoke cigaretttes I know the method of trying half caff, and trying tea. THAT DONT WORK FOR ME I need that perk and half caff is not strong enough for the perk, and tea just isnt as strong for me

I TRULY WISH THE CLARITY OF THOUGHTS AND MOOD DURING THAT FIRST COFFEE SIP AND SECOND DRINK DELIGHT WOULD BE HOW I ALWAYS FEEL

I WISH I COULD FEEL LIKE THAT ALWAYS
AND NOT HAVE TO KEEP DRINKING IT TO KEEP THAT FEELING GOING

DO I MAKE SENSE????
