Aspies For Freedom

I am a caffeine addict--coffee.  It's not half as bad as soda especially if you drink it without sugar or with low sugar.  The other thing with soda that gets you is the carbonation... with all the sugar and caffeine in soda, the stuff gets into your system right away and spikes your blood sugar way up...  I suppose diet soda would not be a bad idea for you.

I get a lot of side effects from my caffeine addiction, some of them alarming enough to think I may have an underlying health condition--although I have not listened to advice that "longterm caffeine addiction" is causing these problems.  I do not believe that "waiting 6 weeks, off caffeine" will accomplish anything.

I wouldn't have the patience to try it.  I admit to having an addictive personality and life for me, is sorta like "all stimulation, all the time" or I just don't enjoy anything.  I can't focus on anything without either interest in it, or an elegant backgrop of chemical stimulation.

Tried tea or coffee?

How about trying 1 can instead of 2 for a while?  During my sports season I switch to caffiene free soda.  It tastes pretty much the same. Consider it a stepping stone.

Yeah dat´s ryte!...get ya´arse of dat cola..nd get into sum serious addiction....get sum smack an´wack it up ya arm...
Naw...juz kiddin you trouth is coffee as cheaper and less harmful than cola....cafeine is an stimula for the brain system and when the supply is cut short the brain(and thus the entire nervous system)is cravin the"drug"....after a 3 day"cold-turkey"...you´ll probarlyt feel better.
Take this advice from an expert(I´m a heroine addict)and take it easy with the ambition and cut down rather than make an abrupt stop.
This will render the"withdrawal"less painful

I'm a pepsi addict too, last year I switched to a diet soda, had to do something completely different because the taste of diet pepsi was gross.   Now I'm just a diet soda addict...

I'm trying to think about trying to stop drinking it so much.

(gulp, gulp, gulp)

Good Luck!

Ope! I'm seeing a pepsi-asperger's connection...  

so which came first, asperger's or pepsi... whoa man...
