As many of my close friends and colleagues know, I struggle from an addiction. I've been addicted to Coke since I was just 12 years old. Back then I was buying 3 or 4 hits a day. Now I did go cold turkey from it for a few months back in 2004. But I quickly fell into my old ways.
At my current job they give it away for free, whenever you want it. My addiction has quickly flown out of control. My calculations would say I spend over £500 a year on it. Jim calculates £700. Realistically, factoring the more expensive hits at bars and from WH Smiths, I'd say it's probably approaching £1000 a year.
Yesterday I decided it had to stop. And it is. I'm suffering from huge withdrawal symptoms, headaches and tiredness. Last night I practically collapsed on the sofa at 6pm!
But succeed I will... Diet Coke Anonymous, here I come.
It's called Coca Cola light now. For me it's the real deal or nothing. Do you remember Tab?
ReplyDeletediet coke has more caffine in it and that fake-sugar, try replacing ur habit with fruit juice or water?
ReplyDeletecoffee or even tea?? i know what ur going through i too was once a coke addict. Now i don't bother with it.
Every once in a while I will tell myself No more. I quit smoking, so I should be able to quit coke. I try water, and I try orange juice, even frickin' lemonade...
ReplyDeleteBut all it takes is one pizza to bring back the craving.
