Hi,
My name is WolfLikeMe and I'm a soda addict.
In my teens, I drank regular Coke multiple times a day. If I HAD to guess, I was probably drinking AT LEAST 3 cans a day, but probably more. Within the past year I started drinking diet soda since my boyfriend drinks it. I drink diet Dr. Pepper and Pepsi Max. I probably drink anywhere between 3-5 cans a day... SERIOUSLY! If I don't drink soda, I feel sleepy and start getting awful headaches .
How in the world do I stop?! I've started drinking more water but I feel as though I can only drink so much. I'll sip on it when I CHUG diet soda. I've tried Crystal Light and it tastes okay but it doesn't give me the caffeine kick that soda does. I've looked for alternative caffeine solutions but I have a difficult time getting the right amount of jolt (eg tea). I don't like the taste of coffee, so no solace there.
Does anyone else feel addicted to soda? If you've broken the addiction, what did you replace it with and HOW?! Cold turkey or limiting yourself to x cans/day?
