Done with Coca Cola!

[Hellow]

I used to drink Diet Coke all the time. I have one every once in a while if I dine out. But for the most part I now drink only water and one cup of coffee a day.

My best friend is hooked on Tab. She tried quitting but the headaches were horrible.

Did you know that if you scrub your tires with it, it gets them sparkling clean. Can you imagine what it does to your stomach???

The lining of your stomach is powerful enough to repel your stomach acid, which is strong enough to burn through solid steel. Tab aint nothing compared to that! lol

In May 2001, I woke up one day and grabbed my morning coke like always. EWWW! It tasted terrible, like acid. I poured it out and when I got to work I bought one from the machine, thinking mine at home had just gone sour. Nope, same reaction. After a half dozen "EWWW" reactions, I stopped trying. I did not drink soda (Coke!) for 7 months.

Good luck on your "no more coke" lifestyle. It sucked me back in... lol.
I keep thinking that maybe I will quit again.

I don't drink sodas, coffee or tea. Haven't since 1995. Back in 2002 when my Dad had surgery I decided to get a Mountain Dew to see if the caffiene would help me get through the long day. OMG, I thought I was having a heart attack because my heart started pounding so hard. The nurses had me sit and rest while checking my BP and heart rate. For a while I couldn't figure out what it was and then I remembered drinking that soda.

Water and milk are about all I drink with the exception of fruit juice now and then and of course my favorite treat - a Sonic strawberry slush.

I'm pretty much hopelessly addicted to any carbonated soda.

Same here. I try to limit myself to 1 soda a day because I know I need to lose about 20 pounds. I know if I quit, it would probably come off pretty easy, but I cant. I hate the carbonated flavored waters, so there's not much else that I can drink. I hate diet sodas, coffee, flavored waters, and lots of other things. I also use the coke to combat migraines when they first attack, so I really am hopelessly addicted.

My 19 year old daughter Indra was hooked on Coca Cola too! About 1 month ago, she told me she never falls asleep before 4am . Then I realised that the amount of caffeine might be the cause. She promised she would try to stop drinking Coca Cola.
After 3 days, she told me she had slept from 11pm to 9am!!
She is so happy now for my good advize (and I am happy that it worked); she even convinced her friend Matthias to stop too

Well done on giving it up!

I can see how you can find the taste so repelling after a break - when I turned vegetarian at 8 years old, at first I found it so hard to resist the hotdogs and burgers and all the other junk foods kids eat. After a while, though, the thought of eating meat became as normal to me as eating rocks.

I personally drink too much caffeine, mainly from coffee. Thing is, weather is always so murky over here that I always feel like having a hot drink! I do drink some carbonated drinks, particularly diet coke, but not that often.

Not exactly repel; the stomach is coated in mucus, but as quickly as the acid has dissolved that mucus, it's already been replaced. No doubt though that sugary drinks knacker your teeth!

I remember seeing a programme which described coke as being a criminal's best friend - able to remove blood stains from a crime scene!
