I'm new here and I hope this is the right place to pose this question. Is it possible to be addicted to Coke? If so, how do you break the addiction?
I feel like I am. I drink about 5 (12 oz) cans a day (well I open them...half of them wind up poured out because they get hot and lose their fizz).
I'm not addicted to the caffeine...I can drink coffee to alleviate the headache and it doesn't help. I think my headache comes from feeling "stressed" at not having Coke. I get grumpy with my kids and husband (to the extreme) if I am not drinking soda at some point in the day. Food makes me crave the stuff...though I often go the entire day with eating only 2 or 3 sandwiches, but I'm surviving on the soda! I'm soooo unhealthy, and I feel like breaking the soda habit is where I should start. I hate water, unless I'm really hot and thirsty ...sometimes I gag on it (especially since moving to the city...city water...blah!).
I have jokingly referred to Coke as my "crack"...I'm beginning to wonder if there is more truth to that than I originally thought.
