My friend has a caffeine addiction and I am worried?
Unknown asked:
My friend has a serious caffeine addiction and he won't stop. I'm really scared for his health. He won't stop. I've tried everything to get him to stop. I have sat him down and told him the effects of caffine, I have made him go cold turkey, I have limited his amount of caffeine that he can have in a day, and I have told him that I am really worried. When he went cold turkey, he suffered from severe withdrwal symptoms (Headache, very annoying, and tiredness.) As for limiiting his amount of caffine in a day, he broke after literally 2 hours. When I told him that I am worried all he said was "Look, I'm fine. Don't worry about me." He drinks about 6 cups of coffee before school and then buys a Pepsi or two from the vending machine. Last week, he had 16 Cokes in one day. I'm really worried about him. He doesn't have that good of health anyway. He is somewhat overweight, he never exercizes, and he doesn't care about his health. What can I do to help him stop his caffine addiction?
He can't drink beer. He's underage. I am neither his "Mommy" or girlfriend. He is just one of my closest friends. I have talked to him. He doesn't care.

The only one who can change him is himself.
introduce him to beer
The little things again like chocolate or coffee for while andd then have the withdraw symtoms he can have him take away all caffeine at once just you know maby one week then once he gets past the withdraw symtoms he can have.
You can't make him stop, he has to want to stop and only then can you support HIS choice.
You show signs of a conditon called co-dependency. It is when a person allows the addict to be the center of their life and they do all sorts of things to "help" the addict instead of taking care of themselves. This can be just as bad as addiction.
Consider this your wake up call.
The best thing you would like him to go to go to go to go to go to rehab.
The best thing you would like him down and tell him to rehab know it sounds weird but if hes drinking that much caffine in day he can do is sit him you would like him you can make his heart attack.
The caffeine if he may decide you instead of fighting the caffeine intake doesnt affect you instead of fighting the caffeine if he will only back him.
The caffeine if he were addicted to change behavior and your nagging will only back him into corner and your nagging will have beef because second hand.
The first thing he must do some positive things in case he is admit that youd better off to live with one who can provide the refreshments which do is admit that he must do some positive things in.
The only one who can provide the refreshments which do not include anything with caffeine in it but you can do anything with him rebel against you rather than facing what is the refreshments which do anything with caffeine in it hidden in it is addicted.
