I was just thinking about you guys yesterday
 My addiction continues with little effort to stop, I slow down for 3 days with lots of water but I'm back on the coke again

I went cold turkey killing my caffeine habit (coffee). After a few days, I was fine. It's all about determination and will. Carrying a bottle of water with you and having it at arms reach at all times is a good start. If you don't have to get up to get a new soda, just reach for the water.

I prefer coke zero to DC.
I must admit that I am already on my second coke of the day. And I got up at 830. |

Aspertame, the silent killer, is prohibited in Europe, for children's products.
Monsanto, the owners of nutrisweet, were caught bribing medical officials in Canada. No thanks. |

Update:
Am down to 2-3 diet pepsi's per day. Key is to refill my morning 20oz dp with water the rest of the day. My morning dp still tastes like heaven but the rest of the day...well they're getting less palatable.

I drink alot of seltzer. It's just carbonated water. Sometimes I add a splash of cranberry juice for flavor.

Just had a visit to the doc yesterday with a sinus infection. Blood pressure was way down!!!
I don't look like a million bucks just yet but the biggest benefit of all has been realized!!! Have been walking 1.5 miles at least 4 days a week for about two months now as well. Small, sustainable changes seem to be key for me.

Guys... look at yourself here! You are ADDICTED to this crap!!! This is what the makers want to happen to sell product and could care less about your health.
Drink iced tea, water or something but this crap that is sold in plastic bottles at every store is designed to do one thing, drain your pocketbook of money. Its making a profit for the maker and thats it, period. If you NEED your second soda by 8 AM YOU ARE AN ADDICT and you need help! There is no difference between this and a needle in your arm. Does not matter which substance you are addicted to, or how you take it. Sit down and realize that this substance has control over your life and deal with it. If you cannot do it yourself, get professional help. In the end it will do something to your life and NONE of it is positive.

One of the benefits of being in the hospital for 6 days was kicking the Diet Coke habit. I am sitting here at my desk with a glass of water and don't even miss it. I might have a Diet Coke when I go out to eat, but for some reason, it doesn't taste as good as it used to.

THIS thread caused me to kick a DP habit. None since I read the first post. Yes. I drink coffee. And I have had a few regular Pepsis since but the habit is gone. Good riddance! That crap is tomorrow's cigarettes. I tell you, there will be lawsuits and all kinds of health info coming out about how bad this stuff is. As you know, there is no louder singer in the choir than the newly converted. (that would be me)

You have to have be brain-dead to put this into your body at the rate of several cans a day. Can you say "junkie"? And this in the land that is fighting the "war on drugs", where you're not allowed to see a tit on television, and can't drink a beer until you're 21? Nucking futs!

I used to work with an ex-ballerina who was a total Tab addict - she saved the cans and had an entire wall of them stacked along the hallway next to her office - totally pink.
