    Everyone goes through trouble at some point getting addicted to stuff, I've always told people I never get addicted to anything but turned out to be false. I can't kick the energy drink habit. The people around me don't want to help but even then it all comes down to the right mind state. I am in pain daily and feel sick constantly. What are ways to deal with it? I'd like to live longer then I feel I'm on track to right now.. Any help is appreciated.

    Switch to coffee. Zero calories and you will get your caffeine fix still.

    Best way to kick it, is while 'its' down, but don't slip up

    Man I wish I knew what to tell you, I've been trying to get off pop for the longest time now. I'll go like maybe a week and then break down and buy a 20oz and be like "okay I'm done" but nah then the next day it's like I buy a f---ing 12 pack again. Idk what to do either...

    Jericho's twitter response to this was classic, he said something like 'I didn't slip, I was imitating Punk the drunk. I don't make mistakes' or something like that. It was funny.

    Anyways as far as the topic goes, how often are you having these energy drinks man? If you're feeling physically sick without them, maybe just try to cut back at first and then eventually find something to replace it with. Cold turkey would mostly be the best call but if that's not gonna work for you, you could always try another way. Or maybe switch to soda for now and then eventually coffee like BC said.

    I feel bad for ya'll addicts. I don't get addicted to s--- (maybe because I'm too poor to afford an addiction). Also, addiction (especially to an energy drink) is a sign of a weak person. Toughen the f--- up and take your body back.

    Addicted to f---in energy drinks. First world problems, man.
