this article came right in time as my mind has been thinking about drinking dt mt dew again...I have been clean lol from it for 7 months!! and I was thinking the other day I miss it sooo, and now reading this. It has helped me regain my resolve and just say no to Dt dew! thanks

I had one just the other day. I was literally stuck in a situation with no fresh water anywhere and limited options. I sipped on it (because of the carbonation). It wasn't that great anymore.

Please understand I had a SERIOUS addiction--6 to 8 bottles a day. But now, it just tasted like a bunch of chemicals and artificial sweetener. It actually made me happy that I didn't enjoy it this time.

I was addicted to in my 8 hours shift I would drink 4 or 5, 20 ounce bottles, and the hours I was at home at least 4 or 5 more!! I always went to bed with one and would wake up and sip all night!! I sometimes get the urge to just get one, I think oh it wont kill me and it is sugar free...but in my head I feel like it will open up all kinds of doors I dont want opened

 Wow!

Wow is right....

SCARY BUSINESS!

I'm so glad that I am going to give that stuff up!

 My husband and I have both stopped drinking soda.  I miss it, too!

I'm pre-op and will occasionally have a pop here and there (maybe once a week), but I definitely don't buy it anymore.  I stopped buying it when it just got to be so ridiculous to carry all of these twelve packs of pop up the stairs only to do it again in a week.  My laziness made me stop completely.  My parents are addicted to diet pop and that is pretty much all they drink, so I still technically have to buy it for them since I'm living with them until the end of the month.  About 5 years ago, I was drinking 100oz of Diet Dr. Pepper a day and my blood pressure was dangerously high, so I decided to give up caffeine to see if that would help lower it.  Now I only drink water.
