So for some of you previously read I am addicted to Coca Cola.. However after quitting drinking sodas cold turkey today marks one week of no cokes!.. I am now just drinking strictly water!.. I went from drinking 2-8 can of cokes a day..(waking up drinking a coke and going to sleep drinking a coke)... to no cokes at all!.. This has been a high success for me!...

    Congratulations on giving up soda! It must've been tough! Keep it up!
    Just because soda is pretty darn bad for you doesn't mean you have to totally limit yourself to water and only water forever.
    I switched to green tea and fruit juice when I gave it up.

    Slowly doing this-have switched from 3 Sonic Rt 44 Cokes to 2 Dt Dr Pepper's so at least with that start have cut down on a lot of calories and carbs...

    Congrats!! I haven't had a coke since July 20th and I don't even miss it most of the time. When stress is high I sometimes still feel the urge to grab a coke to calm myself but have managed to not make that mistake, yet. Keep up the awesome work!!

    I am doing the same. It's been 5 days now without any sodas whatsoever. I've done it before & lost a nice bit of weight just by replacing soda with water. I used to drink just soda, all day every day, nothing else. It's difficult but so worth it. Keep it up!

    Congrats!! I know how hard it can be. That was one of my New Year's resolutions. I was addicted to "diet" cokes but wanted to get away from the aspartame. I have been drinking strictly water too. I prefer not to drink my calories.

    I'm also cutting out sodas. My addiction was diet dr pepper. I would have 4-6 a day and sometimes even 7. Wake up and first thing I did was grab a diet dp and go out in garage and smoke. I'm on day 6 of no diet dr pepper and day 60 of no smoking! Keep up your hard work! It will pay off! I'm now drinking 8-12 glasses of water a day. I have some green tea but haven't tried it yet...
