    Wow, it is just amazing how addicted you can get to coca-cola... even giving up smoking didn't cost me so much pain...

    The longest I've been without drinking coke has been about a week, and I was just going crazy!

    Any other coke-addicts around here?

    switch to diet. Your body will thank you. :D

    Coke has so much damn sugar....

    You could call me a Diet Dr Pepper addict, yes.

    But I do get about 5 glasses of water a day as well.

    BTW, haven't you heard all those rumours about artificial sugar causing cancer?

    diet is like water and dial up. After 2 months you can start to tolerate it.

    You can do it Fryman!!!

    Sodas are BAD period. A close friend spent half his life struggling with horribly painful heatburn and has finally learned through trial and error that it's the DIET COKE he drinks which causes it 95% of the time. The stuff is like battery acid.


    I use to be a complete Coca Cola addict...I grew up drinking the stuff and realized things were pretty bad when I'd wake up in the morning and it was the first thing I wanted. Anyway, about ten years ago I had a major health scare and my doctor told me to quit caffeine. I'd been wanting to quit drinking cola for awhile and I started forcing myself to visualize slimy garbage whenever I drank any. It wasn't long after that when I just stopped drinking it cold turkey. I barely drink any sodas at all now, maybe just a rootbeer once in a great while.

    Thankfully I was never much of a coffee drinker so I didn't have to worry about quiting that.

    The one thing I really missed was "the burn". I loved the carbination (weird I know) so I drink sparkling mineral water whenever I have that craving. I'm a total tea fanatic now. Hot tea, ice tea, chai tea...I love it. :cool:

    I've never even tasted it. I tried a Pepsi I think around 20 years ago, didn't like it, and never tried Cola again.

    I'm an addict drinking 2-3 litres per day. It's by my bed so I can have some when I wake up and I alternate drinking tea and coke all day long. Funnily enough, I only got to this stage when I gave up smoking. Weighing things up I believe it's better to be addicted to coke than nicotine but I sure wish I wasn't :(

    Yup, totally addicted to coca cola, like whoa. I drink it constantly and I cannot even go very long without a nice ice cold glass of coke. No other drink satisfies me like coke. :eek:
