Addicted to Diet Coke

Sparkling flavored water and coffee helped me kick the soda cravings. Listen to your cravings - do you want caffeine or bubbles? Ween yourself off the bubbles by setting a max per day (for me it was 1 with lunch and 1 with dinner - AFTER I had an entire glass of water first). I found I did not want the soda after a few weeks of cutting back. Black coffee, unsweet tea and water are pretty much my only drinks anymore.

I had no idea how I was going to give up my Diet Dr. Pepper. I would drink it literally from daylight to dark. All. Day. Long. I drank it until 2 days before surgery. I'll be 4 years out soon and haven't had one drop. I know I have no control so I just don't go there......
