Caffeine can be an extremely addictive substance. Learning how to overcome caffeine addiction can be very tough. On the scale of addictive substances it is more addictive than alcohol, tobacco, and even cocaine. This doesn't mean that the effects are more damaging, just that the substance will develop into a habit which will be harder to overcome.

We don't really think of caffeine as being that dangerous - but it can be. Most of us drink coffee. It is easy to drink a few cups a day, however it can easily spiral to three, then five or even more. This is when it begins to develop into a problem and when it starts to have an impact upon your health. It affects your  alertness, even your internal organs and heart.

This article will offer several tips to help you overcome caffeine addiction naturally:

• Gradually cut down your caffeine intake. If you usually have five cups a day cut it to four cups one week then three cups the week after and so on.
• Get a substitute. Try getting your sugar from a low calorie biscuits instead - this will give you the energy your crave without needing to have caffeine.
• If you drink coke or pepsi then why not try another drink without caffeine in it. Any drink containing sugar will keep you alert and boost your concentration.
• Drink tea! tea still contains a little caffeine and as a hot drink it can be a great substitute for a cup of coffee.
• Eat a range of fruit. Fruit acts as a natural energy booster, and contains natural sugars. Eating fruit will really help you in the first few weeks when you are feeling the withdrawal - it will make sure you have solid nutrition and energy in your body.
• You can also try alternative remedies - such as positive self affirmations, hypnosis or perhaps subliminal messaging albums.
