    Hi Carly,

    The Mountain Dew has caffeine in it. That is what you are addicted to. You have to go cold turkey with it until the caffeine craze leaves your body. Try drinking homemade decaffeinated tea from Liston and add some lemon to it. Put some sweet & low in there if you like it sweet. Do not use Aspartame or NutraSweet. It will destroy your brain cells! Very bad stuff! Please do not buy any sodas and bring them into the house. If you have any in the house get rid of it.

    God's blessing to you,
    Suzieq

    I know your struggle. I am a mountain dew junkie, before I moved in with my FI it was literally the only thing I drank, maybe a coke once a month but that is it. When I moved it here, he only had tea and I didn't want to be rude or seem demanding so I just started drinking the tea it has helped me tremendously. I still have an occasional one like if we are out to dinner and like once a month we will buy a 24pack to share but I have been trying to ween myself from getting that too. I do wish you the best of luck and if you ever need to talk about the mountain dew jones lol just message or add me lmfao

    Splenda is bad for you. I would not use it. Sweet & Low is much better for you and cheaper. It doesn't take a lot. It is very concentrated. My doctor told me not to drink no more than three drinks a week of drinks that has Splenda in it. It causes my head to get numb if I get to much of it. Splenda it is not a natural product and the body does not know how to get brake it down so it stays in the body.
