Breaking the habit....

So back in January I quit coffee...it wasn't that hard, as I only had one a day, but it was hard not to fall back on caffeine in the morning when I was tired.

I went to the dentist this past week, and the dentist thought I had taken up smoking. Turns out my diet pop habit has gotten out of hand.

I am having a harder time with the no pop thing, then I did with the coffee.

oi, seriously jonesing and it is day #1.

:(

I dont know if this makes a difference, but try sprite ??

If not, those flavored waters dasani have are awesome, and much better for you then pop.

Pop is fucking gross drop it like it's hot

I'm not the hugest fan of pop.. I'm much more partial to juice (usually watered down) and those flavoured waters (they're so very yummy!).

What is funny, is that all my life, I have been a watery juice drinker. In fact, I hate frozen juice, as I find it too sweet and drink crystal light most of the time.

I think it is the caffeine I crave, or the bubbly goodness.

When I go out to a restaurant, I like soda water, with a splash of lime cordial.

[-evil-duerr-]

coffee effects me in similar ways as cocaine.

fun for the first 15 mins or so..
all downhill from there.
and the caffiene comedown is fucking horrible.

I try not to drink it.
but sometimes , take this morning for instance, I cant resist it!

pop is such a useless drink, your useless if you drink pop

[Goat]

Who the fuck pays for water?

[The Chucksta]

useless people pay for water

Does caffeine actually have a comedown? I always took it as the sugars and stuff in pop or whatever that made you feel like shit after drinking them?

[frogprincess]

take caffeine pills and drink water (soda water if you like the fizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz)

caffeine is the bane of my existance.

I have acid reflux, and it aggrevates it badly, so I am trying to break it from my life completely.

ingest copious amounts of caffeine one day and make yourself so sick that you end up quitting for LIFE!

or tape pictures of rotting teeth to the cans of pop you buy.

for the most part I like drinking water and milk once in a while, I will have pop rarely but I never had it as a kid, we didn't have it in our house unless it was a special occasion. Either way, juice has just as much sugar as pop does and is just as bad for you.

H20 is the way to go

[esoter1c]

I used to drink 3 2litres a day.

Now all I drink is v8.

[thechix0r]

^^ wow that's ALOT

I think I can do it by just not bringing it in the house. But I want it none the less.

^^ roll your eyes if you wish, just saying...

Good luck with trying to kick the habit, I know my mom had a big issue when she wanted to quit drinking coffee, she would get headaches and shit

your holier than thou attitude is a bit much at times...

I actually have a rule, that if I drink one can of pop, I need to drink two tall glasses of water. That is what you need to replace the water that the caffeine is stealing from your body.

[thechix0r]

^^ good rule

edit: your inability to communicate with people in a civil manner is a bit much at times

coffe!...yumm!

i love it. nothin like a double double from tim hortans to start the day...i dont really need it though, i just like the taste and of course the little perk to start the day,

i drink copious amounts of bottled water to help flush out the caffine after the buzz, im make constant trips to the water cooler every 10 min and my sales manger gets pissed cause i leave my stashes of empty water bottles all over the sales floor!..lol.

cant do with out the water
