Probably a bit of these posts here, but i have a terrible caffine addiction. i havnt really thought about how many drinks i have a day that contain high amounts of caffine. but the point is i always drink enough to the where im my hands are shaking quite noticeably. i know i shouldnt have soo much caffine but i dont know how to stop myself before having too much.

any advice on how to cut back or just stop needing it?

I can relate.

I'm in the middle of this addiction, too. Can you explain the process that you go through and the emotions that you feel BEFORE you drink a caffeinated drink? For me, I'm feeling tired and depressed. A little bored. And the caffeine takes all that away... it really is a drug.

What's it like for you?
