Help! I am addicted to Dr. Pepper! What should I do?!


Question: Hey There…
I was the worst Dr Pepper addict there was. I was drinking on lite days at least 8 32oz DPs a day! At best 4 a day…on top of three pots of coffee!!! I did it..it was hard and the headaches were awful for the first few days…but I realized that I was getting bigger and bigger but I wasn’t eating anything. So I made a decision one day to say OK I am not gonna have one today…And my family could not stand me for about a week…and my coffee consumption went up too, from three pots of caffinated coffee to 5 a day…NOW…I am proud to say I have hit the 3 month mark and I am down to NO DPs a day, 1 pot of coffee a day and one decaf, unless I am close to a Starbucks, which thank God the closet one is 45 miles away..and I lost 25 pounds; and the only thing I did different was no DPs! Good luck with you battle…I know most people look at it as really stupid addiction…but it is just that! An addiction and it is as hard to get over for some as cocaine or herion, well maybe not but you know what I mean. If you need support PLEASE let me know! peppy_girl84!

Seek help from Nurse Salt right away!!

Get a Whataburger (cheese and mayo only) to go with it. Trust me...I know what I'm talking about.

There are worse things you could be addicted to! Don't stress about it. Just slowly cut yourself off.

First of all there is nothing to get adicted to. Maybe you like the tase or the sugar, but believe me there is nothing addictive there. It is all in your mind.pp

give it up start drinking water it helps so much and u loose a lot of weight

Take them all out of your home, too tempting. While you are out or at work allot yourself a certain number per day, 1 or 2 maybe.

KEEP ON DRINKING IT!!!!!!

Visit the Doctor. Dr pepper that is!
