Coke-free

I haven't had a Coke or Pepsi (or most any soda) for the past couple of months. It was a hard "3 times a day" habit to break, but I'm glad I did it.

As a Dr. Pepper addict I applaud you. How did you do it? I made it 9 months without a Dr Pepper but then had one & it was all over for me. The headaches were too much for me to deal with.

I've gone from about 3 colas a day down to about 1 every other day over the last three months -- and I honestly think that it has made a difference (weight, energy, etc).

Hooray. I've quit my Diet Coke habit, too, since Jan. 1. I still have one every now and then, but try to stick to water, sparkling water or iced tea.

ZP - I pretty much followed Patia's method. Since I'm a fiend for ice in an open cup, I drink plenty of ice water every day. (I drank lots of DP when I was a boy in TX, but not for many years now!)

David - eventually you may completely lose the desire for cola - the flavor is so sugary & intense.

Patia - I've really cut back on the iced tea, too. If I drink very much I get the jitters, so it was easy to quit ;-)

I've actually been brewing green tea for its various health benefits. It's lovely iced.
