it's just caffeine, i'll never understand why people can't just buy a bottle of caffeine pills and get the precise amount they want, it would let him slowly decrease the amount until he isn't dependent any more.

Its really hard to be in charge of your own taper, self control is usually lacking in substance abuse situations.

i mean it's caffeine, not nicotine, and even with nicotine a good amount of people manage to taper down usage. You don't get addicted to caffeine, you get dependent, which is much easier to handle.
