Caffieine Withdrawls

[leviathanmisha]

So, I think I was about to go crazy today without something caffeinated. Last week on Saturday I went and bought a 12 pack of Dr. Pepper cause I knew that I was going to need it in the upcoming week. So, I go home with it and some other groceries I bought, telling my mother to leave my pop alone. I stick it in the fridge, put my groceries away and go back out to do other errands. The next day I'm up and out the door before I can even look in the fridge to make sure my mom left my pop alone. I go all day on Sunday thinking that my pop was in the fridge waiting for me. I go home after a long day and open the fridge, craving a Dr. Pepper, only to find it missing. I pretty much go super ***** on my mom after she tells me she gave it to the neighbor kids. I ask her what in the hell am I supposed to drink now? She say I could be a normal person and drink coffee...and for anyone else out there who has tasted coffee...reminds me of super bitter chocolate.

So, I roll my eyes and storm off. Now, any other person would just go back to the store and buy more...but my mother is a freak and would just do it again. That woman has a fridge/freezer combo with a lock on it, where she puts her pop and ice cream...and I think that she has stolen my ice cream from time to time...I wouldn't put it past her.

I was literally dying until my best friend showed up at my job and handed me a 1-liter of Dr. Pepper, I fell to the ground and worshiped the ground she walked on. Until I came home and my mother pried the bottle out of my tired hands...I can't live like this Escapist...I need caffeine!! Hell, I just need something to drink in general!

Go into her wallet/purse/whatever and take money to go buy another 12-pack. And if she takes your shit again, punch her. Mother or not, it doesn't give her the right to steal something YOU paid for.

Uh, coffee sucks ass compared to Dr. Pepper. Anyways, I'm not a caffeine addict, so I can't really have withdrawals.

Cool story yo....

But really, there are plenty of things to drink (and even in some cases, eat) that have caffeine in them other than Dr. Pepper. My advice though would be to pull the typical college student rule of soda stocking and never just keep one 12 pack. You gotta be prepared. Stock up with Mt Dew, energy drinks, caffeine pills, chocolate, whatever.

Last minute note - coffee gets better the more you drink it. It's sort of an acquired taste and you should try it with some cream or more sugar if that helps.

Well, in the time after I posted this, I found my dad's lock pick set and I think I just broke the lock on the other fridge...I want my ice cream dammit!

I always get a small detox during the semester breaks. Right now, I only drink Pepsi Light instead of a can of coffee.
Coming back to the university, drinking that first can of coffee, I always freak out.
Seriously, my hands trembled last time.
I like it.

 

[SovietSecrets]

I will always pick my Red Bull/Rockstar/Monster before drinking soda or coffee. Soda makes me break out really badly for some reason, but energy drinks don't. Way grateful for that.

You think you've got problems cause you're addicted to caffeine? Count your lucky mother fuckin stars and be happy you aren't scoring lines of coke every morning to stay up on your addiction.

A minor notice: chocolate doesn't contain caffeine.

It actually does.. just very small amounts.

It really doesn't. The active ingredient in chocolate is theobromine, which comes from cacao.

I'm no choco-scientist, but wikipedia claims it contains small amounts.

It contain's both actually.

"I did some more reading, and wrote a letter to Jaime Foster, Program Specialist in the department of human nutrition at Ohio State University.

In her reply, she stated that chocolate contains both theobromine and caffeine.

Caffeine occurs in smaller quantities, however. According to the U.S. Pharmacist web site, the two naturally-occurring chemicals make up about 3% of a cocoa bean, with theobromine outweighing caffeine by about two to one."

You sound like you have a problem. Why do you need a caffeinated drink in the middle of the day? At any rate, try a carbonated drink. They might ease your addictions.

 

[bluepilot]

Hey, we all need something to get us through the day.

Maybe you should lay off the fizzy drinks a little though. They are quite bad for your health. Try slowly reducing the amount you drink over a period of time.

 

[Custard_Angel]

It's all in your head mate.

I drink a lot of caffiene and sometimes feel that I need it to feel normal, but then I just remember that I already am normal.

I don't drink coke to get any sort of buzz (because I'm fairly certain that I'm all but immune to the effects of caffiene). I drink it because I enjoy the taste.

I need my shots of coffee during the working day. I don't usually drink it when I'm off work though. But when the coffee machine at the office breaks, it's nothing short of a zombie invasion.

This is why Tea is the God of all drinks.

No, I came home craving one cause I was thirsty. I needed one on the morning to wake my half-dead ass up. And I drink other things besides pop, I get yelled at for draining the milk in a day.
