Any advice for someone who has an addiction?

Some people turn to alcohol to make them feel good. Others turn to nicotine. I, turn to caffeine (pop and chocolate). Somedays I just crave caffeine. Other days, I turn to it because I pitty myself. I have an addiction. Has anyone else had this same problem? I want out. I have a 5 month old son. I need to get out of this unhealthy eating habit. Any advice or tips?Any advice for someone who has an addiction?
Don't stop cold turkey. You'll get horrible headaches. Wean yourself off slowly. Lucky for you, there are caffeine-free alternatives in beverages. The chocolate, I'm not sure about. Once you switch all your drinks to decaf, don't ever buy caffeinated again. If it's not there, you can't drink it.Any advice for someone who has an addiction?
I used to smoke and it was extremely hard to quit. I tried everything. The last time I quit, I was successful!!! All I did was pray for the stregnth to overcome it. God does answer prayers. I never even craved it, in fact after that the smell made me gag. Now that it's been over a year, every now and then when I am stressed, I will still think about it. But God gave me the initial stregnth I needed to overcome it and now it's easy to not turn back.


God bless!
