my addiction to pop

[bebu*funfun]

so for the past 6 months its been out of control... ive been going through FLATS of coca-cola. and at work we have unlimited amount of pop we can drink..and the cups i drink out of can fit like 2 pints of beer.. (its a big cup).. and i drink about 2-3 cups that size a day. if i dont drink it at work i have to drink a can or 2 at home. its become an addiction.. my stomach craves for it when i wake up. something strange is going on.

lately ive been trying to fool my tummy by drinking soda water.. its kinda worked, but i dont get that same sugar rush that keeps my day going. on the plus side i have cut down my coffee/caffiene intake. so what do u think..is coffee worst for u, or pop?

[mapleleaf4ever]

I've heard of people actually seriously addicted to Coca-Cola. Like they drink a 2L or so a Day. The Caffiene in it is addicting like Coffee... so maybe wean yourself off with a Cup of Coffee or two a Day?

[bebu*funfun]

i remember when i use to just take sips from a can of coke.. now its like 4 chugs and its gone. wtf.

[mapleleaf4ever]

I'm guilty of that... if I wasn't Poor I would drink a 2L a Day. For now I've been downing Kool-Aid like a Demon. I suppose it's not as healthy with a Cup of Sugar in it.

[neoh]

my aunt is mentally and physically addicted to pepsi, she has been for about 30 years, if she doesen't have pepsi she will violently throw up, break out in hives and go fucking bonkers, it's weird.

myself, I drink about 4 to 5 dr peppers a day. :(

[bebu*funfun]

the soda water has been working.. but whenever i tell soemone to grab me a drink and i say soda water they give me a weird look and end up pouring me a coke. ahhhh!! soda water seems more carbonated than coke..so when i drink it i cant really taste whats going down my throat, but yet i can taste the fizzies..so it tricks my mind.


^^^this girl has issues.

this reminds me supersize me.... remmeber that superfat couple who were talking about how they drink one to two of those humongous cups of coke everyday

My sister's friend used to drink lots of pop (about the same as you) and she actually took the enamel off her teeth! Look out!

[MC Hammered]

Gut rot anyone?

[charly]

if it is being such a problem, i'd suggest just cutting down. cutting out completely isn't good, and it won't make you feel good either.

[sungoo]

heh, I used to have the same problem.
but then like 6 months ago I decided to quit cold turkey. It's kinda hard but I just didn't think about it. I just drink water instead now. I have the occaisonal pop but now that's about once every week or every two weeks.

[Silverwinged]

and yet you still have amazing skin.
bitch.

[(val)Liam]

on and off coke addict (hahaha :P)

I'll quit, but I'll go to starbucks, then the downward spiral begins... there are stages that I go through when starting back up

1) juice
2) espresso/frappes
3) diet pops
4) pops not coke (at this point I might as well just drink coke)
5) regular coke

I'm at stage 4 right now...

its awful... and when the cigarette issue has been dealt with pop is going to be next...

one thing though that I noticed helped a lot was going to the gym... going to the gym was probably the only concrete reason why I quit (there are many reasons to quit of course, but the gym is a much more direct reason)... which reminds me... I should be getting back into that habit... after my last coke......

cut down on it..drink some juice bev!

two nights ago i had a coke..i put it in a cup and added about 1/4 of a cup of water to it cuz it was kinda gross..=P

^ Juice has lots of sugars so it's not even that much better.

h2O = best choice :y:

[charly]

^ but it would help with the sugar addiction, while you're weening yourself off the caffeine.

buy the mini cans!
besides being cute and tiny, they're useful for helping you drink small amounts. then you can have some, while cutting down at the same time and not waste any and such.

[veN]

^ true enough. She also needs a work-friendy solution tho. I don't think they want her bringing in cans of pop or juice to her place of work (a restaurant). Hmm...

[charly]

^ true. Cans of pop is more of an at home solution.

I don't see why bringing your own drink to work would be viewed as a problem. I've always had free soda/water/tea/coffee in the places I've worked, but we were free to bring in our own stuff as well.

[veN]

^ I just assumed it would be a problem. I'm not really sure it would be tho. Just beinga place that serves food and drink I would think that they wouldn't want outside food/drink in, but who knows?

[Bitchin]

Erin and I drink sooooooooo much coca-cola....

People @ work make fun of us for it.

[veN]

OK I really want some Coke now. Original, Cherry or Vanilla I don't care I just want some. Lol. Thanks guys!

[mapleleaf4ever]

Lime!

[charly]

^ pfft. cherry vanilla dr.pepper is where it's at.

[mapleleaf4ever]

WHERE DO YOU GET IT?!?!?! Telllllllll meeeeeeeee!

[charly]

as far as i know, it hasn't even been released in canada yet.

BUT at the beginning of the month they were out introducing it in seattle, so it is on the west coast now. you just need to go to the u.s to get it. :( (and it's apparently a limited run as well!)
