I am addicted to soda, want to stop?!
Question: I am addicted to drinking pop/soda/coke, whatever you prefer to call it. I don't consume mass quantities, but I do drink at least one glass a day.
I'm trying to lose a little weight, see, and drinking pop really defeats the purpose. I have tried giving it up before but always fail miserably. Simply telling me to not buy it isn't going to help... because I've tried that and I always cave. Plus, I know it's basically liquid sugar, and that's just bad.
I do enjoy water and drink at least 2 bottles a day... and other heathly drinks are appealing, but they don't qwell the cravings for soda.
Any tips on how I can wean myself off and beat this addiction? And yes, it is an addiction... you can be addicted to virtually anything.
Thanks for your help.

I quit drinking soda and immediately dropped 10lbs. My ankles quit swelling and I feel generally better. It was hard because I really love regular Pepsi. I try to substitute the cravings for the soda with the flavored waters. They help. Good luck. No one ever lost an ounce drinking diet soda.
Slowly ween yourself off. Cause you are prolly addicted to the caffeine too. Try drinking a 12oz can for 3 days then a 12oz can every other day
Water it down when you drink it. Drink one glass, but only 1/2 coke and 1/2 carbonated water. Try Jones soda--it is pure cane sugar which is easier on your body than aspertame or sucralose, etc.
tell your friend to secretly put.. slugs, piss or feces in it..
to create a phobia that you can never forget about..
that way when you see soda again... youll be petrified
dont even dare looking at it.
start drinkin scotch
