LOL…I confess I drink way too much Diet Soda!!! But there are worse vices!!! LOL
I’ve decided that trying to give up diet soda is useless for me. It’s my little bit of sanity saver. At home I drink caffeine free diet Pepsi. I’m not getting caffeine or sugar. What am I getting? BUBBLES. I love the carbonation.
I know the stuff is quite bad for teeth and bones. But I loves it so.
I have to have aspartame though. Don’t care for sucralose.
One kind of weird thing is that artificial sweeteners in other stuff freaks me out. But in soda it’s OK LOL. I guess b/c I’ve been drinking it for so long.
I have been drinking Diet Pepsi forever and am not about to quit. Cut back… I have done that and tried to drink more water. Also realllly like Sprite Zero … even my kids will drink it when the regular soda is gone.
right now my preferred diet is diet Dr. Pepper cherry. I drink a case a week. Before that i was drinking diet coke cherry but diet Dr. Pepper cherry is smooooth.
mine is sugar free cool-aid. i drink it like a fish. i was a Diet Coke addict for about 10 years but only drink it occasionally these days. but the cool-aid is my new crutch. its like tropical fruit crack.
I’ll tell you this much… I haven’t had a migraine since I gave them up, and I don’t have as much fluid retention issues.
I love DIET SODA, I am obsessed with Mountain Dew, I have at least 2 cans in the morning and they now have the Mountain Dew Code Red in Diet as well, For awhile though I quit drinking Dew and was strickly Diet coke when I read that Dew contain concentrated orange juice, I HATE ORANGE JUICE and I could only taste the orange everytime I drank DEW… But I have over come the orange thing although I still hate orange anything. And Drink I drink it every day all day long I can drink a can of dew before bed and still sleep like a baby. So I think it has nothing to do with the caffiene, It obviously has no effect on me.
My name is Linzie I ahve been a Dietsodaholic for 19 years!!!
I was a diet soda addict until the acid in it started to ruin my teeth. I drink it occasionally, maybe once every couple of weeks and only the small cans (I’ll never give up my diet cherry vanilla dr. pepper or diet root beer) and ALWAYS with throw a straw, that helps with the tooth pain.
Hi. My name is Mac, and I am a Cola-holic. Sober now for 11 days (do I get a chip at 15?)
I work in IT at a company that has a fridge full of free sodas. I’m embarrassed to say I could easily polish off three six packs in a day at my bingeing height. I slowly weaned myself from regular diet to caffeine free diet, then cut back on soda all together, instead drinking instant diet iced tea. I was down to about a sixpack a day three weeks ago, and I suddenly decided that the only drinks that would touch my lips from that point on were water, or one glass of alcohol a week on dart night at the local pub. I don’t have a problem with alcohol, but drinking any sweet drink I find eventually leads me back to Cola debauchery.
I like these days to slice up some cucumber or to throw a stick of cinnamon into my water bottle for a refreshing taste. Does anyone else have water treatments that give it some kick without giving it a sweet taste?
I am addicted to coke zero! And now I’m loving diet coke lime. Somebody told me that it can cause memory loss(not major), which would explain why I forget to check my sugar lol
You forgot about the phosphoric acid that is in colas, and some other sodas. The extra acid in the system is hard on the kidneys.
