If I can give up coffee, anyone can! I was completely addicted

(

上瘾

).

I drank coffee all day.

I depended on it for everything. Without coffee, I became sad and anxious. I would feel nervous if

I couldn

’

t get some coffee before an important event like giving a speech or taking an exam.

It took countless tries before I realized how to give up coffee. Between each try, I learned a

little bit more. Here

’

s how I did it.

Coffee Addiction Knowledge

The

first

step

is

to

learn about

what

you

are

dealing

with.

Caffeine

is

a

drug. The

human

body gets addicted to

it easily. That

’

s why you feel good when you get your first cup of coffee in

the morning and it

’

s why you feel bad when you try to give it up. There are emotional addictions

to

the

caffeine

as

well.

Some

people

believe

that

with

the

caffeine

you

will

perform

better

and

have more confidence.

Gradually Cut the Amount and Then Replace

(

替代

)

It with Green Tea

You

can

give

up

coffee

suddenly,

but

why

put

yourself

through

that

unless

you

need

an

unpleasant experience? You can follow these two steps.

1) Gradually cut the amount of coffee you drink according to a plan. Let

’

s say, you normally

drink 5 cups of coffee a day. Over a one-week period, cut out one cup ________ so that by the

sixth day you

’

re at zero.

2) On your first day without coffee replace it with green tea. Green tea has the lowest amount

of caffeine of most teas, but don

’

t expect any similar coffee taste.
