I have a problem with redbull. Ugh. I'm down to a can a day normally. I HATE redbull. It makes me grit my teeth and hurts my jaw. But it's there for free for me. Ugh. My boyfriend had a coke addiction (um, the drink).
He quit and within a year got a new digital camera with the money![]()

LOL, what inspiration!
i am also addicted to diet coke, mainly because as a diabetic i do not have any other choices that taste good. i was drinking a 2 liter a day! ha! top that! but you see coke, diet or not, is the devil. the navy uses coke to clean their brass on the ship. the acid removes your enamel. it takes away the phosphorus from your bones causing premature osteoporosis. i have known all these facts for years, yet i am just now getting to where i can appreciate water. it's tough, i always joke if it were COKE, i'd be in a clinic! i have never tried drugs, alcohol, or cigarettes. but diet coke was def. my vice! you gotta ween yourself slowly. plus two cans a day is acceptable.
I drink about 2-3 a day. I know I'm an addict! I just recently had to start forcing myself to start drinking more water! It's so much easier to grab a tasty diet than a bland water though! Ugh!





Water with ice and lemon or raspberry. I go to Ikea and get lingonberry concentrate and stir a little into my water. Yum.

I was a Diet Coke addict for years. It eroded my dental enamel, as if I didn't have enough problems with my teeth....It kept me skinny without working out more...but now I have to work harder to lose fat instead of using a caffiene crutch.
Bleh. I guess life is all about self-control. I drink tea now.
Yeah, you should stop or cut down - not only does coke eat away at your teeth it also destroys the bodies calcium. Artificial sweeteners are scarey too - google them to see possible adverse effects.
See, I would drink diet coke because I felt that I didn't have any other vices so I was okay with whatever damage it did to my body because nothing else was really damaging it. It wasn't until I heard that aspartame is a neurotoxin and eats your brain that I started researching and quit cold turkey, I think the day that I heard it. Do whatever you want to my body but nothing ever to my brain.
Here's a website that helped me finally accept that Diet Coke was poisoning me--



I had a diet coke addiction. It took forever to kick. That stuff is evil. Besides the personal health reasons, the Coca-Cola company has been accused of some international crimes such as child labor, killing union members in South America, and depleting India's water supply. If you do a google search, there are lots of sites that trying to expose the evil of the Coca-Cola company.
I used to drink that much Diet Coke or Diet Dr. Pepper when I had an office job. It was in large part due to the fact that I was bored sitting on my ass all day in a cubicle. Now I drink more water and when I don't get a good amount of water I feel dehydrated. I'll drink like one Diet Coke a day maybe as a treat. Also, it ruins the enamel on your teeth so keep that in mind.
You will also find that diet coke is incredibly high in salt. I only started drinking it because it's the only thing I drink while working, as I'm not really into alcohol and customers get a bit offended when I turn down a drink completely, but I grew up on basically a no-sodium diet due to my mum's super high hypertension, and the first thing that hit me when I started drinking soda drinks, was how SALTY they tasted to me.
Still now, after drinking it for a while, the first thing that hits me when I start drinking soda drinks, especially diet coke, is how much salt there is.
that's bad but i have a regular coca cola addiction, WORSE! it really is my only vice right now, i am at 1-3 cans a day, i started drinking crystal light, it helps me drink less coke and drink more water.Originally Posted by cupcake9876

ugh - soda addiction!!
I'm hooked on V http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_(drink) It's like Red Bull but tastes heaps better (and it's green). They make a black version that is strangely coffee flavoured... omg i can't get enough!
I'll wean myself off, but soon enough i'm back on it again.
Someone needs to invent patches like nicotine ones, but for soda drinks!!![]()
