Question: Soda Addict Experiences!?
For the past 2-3 years, I have downed at least 2 diet sodas a day!. Diet Pepsi, Diet Coke, Diet Dr Pepper, Diet Mt Dew, Diet anything i could get my hands on!.!.!.

I've decided I need to stop because it's not healthy, I barely sleep at night, and I just feel disgusting all the time!.

Soda is everywhere!.!.!.!. and water is so boring! My head pounds non stop, nothing helps it!. I feel like I'm on drugs or something!. Any similiar experiences!?!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
It is hard to believe but: soda and othernon-alcoholic drinks high in caffeine and sugar are as addicting as alcohol!. At first the caffeine rush and sugar high is fun, but it takes more and more to sustain the rush!.
We have fallen into the idea that it is safe to drink these artificial drinks!. The power of advertising is at work!. Look at the ads that visually show you having all of your hearts desires: money, popularity, power!. Try switching to caffeine free soda, or go cold turkey!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

yes!. i quit drinking caffine anything!. it will get better!. i only drink sprite, 7up, decafe tea and water!.!.!.!.oh yha milk lol!.!.!.!.!.i am going to attempt to quit any sort of pop, it will be hard but diet or not pop is evil!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I gave up soda for Lent, and I ran into the same thing!. Try fruit juices!. There are so many you can try!. Kool-Aid also helps, but it's not as healthy as 100% fruit juice!. also, those little packets that turn water into tea and lemonade are good too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It feels like drugs because caffeine is a drug and it's a drug that even kids are given!.

I'm not trying to preach lol drink caffeine too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

my brother is addictied to soda!. he goes mad if he doesnt have it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes, soda is very addicting!. When I gave it up I got the shakes and bad headaches!. Hang in there it'll get better!Www@FoodAQ@Com

2 soda a day isnt a whole lot!.!.!.atleast in my mind!?

to me!.!.!.most of the time!.!.!.the only beverage that is good if soda!.!.!.and ive never had any side affects of anything!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

As far as caffeine drinks go, I drink a lot of coffee,
But I do also drink about 3 or 4 Diet Cokes a day!.
My Fiance drinks between 9 & 12 cans of caffienated soda a day!. She has to have her soda
or she gets cranky, and she gets a headache!
My self, I just get dropa$$!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
