Today is day 4 with zero diet coke....I have been exhausted this week but I am gladly here to toot my own horn! I am so proud of myself - I was drinking such large amounts of diet coke...sometimes 4 litres a day! Can you believe that?

I have a pretty massive headache today which I believe is from caffeine withdrawal but I am feeling that I am nearing the turn around point where the withdrawal symptoms will go away!

I can't believe I did it!

Go me!

I know what a struggle giving up caffeninated pop is, that was always my caffiene of choice.
(diet Pepsi not diet coke it always gave me the hiccups)

That's great news! I gave it up along with caffiene April 1. Last week my husband took my ice tea and before I knew it I took a sip of his Diet coke YUCK! Never thought I would not like the taste of it anymore.

Way to go!

Great job and stay strong. Caffeine is hard to kick and the headaches are terrible. Hang in there, you will feel so much better in the long run.

Keep up the good work.

You CAN do it! And you'll be amazed when you don't even crave it anymore.

I'm a heavy diet coke drinker, too. I quit in December for three months and felt so good..relapses in March and have been drinking tons everyday since. I can't have just one...I quickly escalate back to drinking 2 or more litres a day.
BUT
I'm inspired by pinkjellybean's determination and I want to go cold turkey again. I'm picking this Saturday as my day to do this.
Congrats pinkjellybean...go, go, go!
