Dropped one addiction and started a new one

I have not smoked tobacco and so I was able to drop that addiction, but at the same time I have started a new addiction, drinking Cola-drinks, maybe I should stop this addition too.

There is a lot of acid in colas. Maybe you could drink tea.

Coca-cola is great to drain pipes.

Yeah I have like two a year probably, more in the summer. I used to be a heavy coca cola drinker, then a friend of mine went to the emergency room with holes in his stomach from too much coca cola, I stopped drinking.

Soda’s aint bad if you still biking around and burning off that sugar…

if you like the dark colas get a calcium supplement… I just drink mountain dew cause that phosphoric acid is hell on the body…

I basically full on relapsed into my addiction over the last few days… coffee, beer, tobacco…

I forget that alcohol is social and really hard to avoid… same with nicotine… but when I’m alone long enough I quit those and start drinking caffeine instead.

I can handle two of the above at once… but all 3 together and I start becoming a mess. (relatively)

So no caffeine today…

When I stopped porn, some food addictions, following tornado coverage, taking multiple sleep aids, and soft drinks myself I replaced it by closely following the wars and conflicts around the World. It’s an addiction like all the others. I guess I’ll never completely kick my bad addictions although one thing I definitely don’t like to follow anymore more are terrorist acts and mass shootings since it’s usually blamed on people like us.

I haven’t smoked since 2006 but almost started again, my wife bought me some Nicorette gum

Drinking Soda is a bad habit, but its not Heroin - You can quit quite easily Im sure.

I have not had a soda in decades.

I don’t drink much soda drinks anymore, bad for my teeth I suppose. Coffee though, coffee I drink.

Hey crimby, just thought i’d let you know, you always have something constructive to say and reading your posts makes my days a little easier. On topic, yeah tea is pretty awesome. As for the soda addiction mjseu, do not worry so much although it is not too good to drink too much soda. Maybe limit yourself to something like soda once every three days or so? Good on you for quitting tobacco though!
