Goodbye Old Friend. Day 2
Yesterday sucked, but one thing came out of it. I went a whole day without DietCoke. This may sound silly, but I'm addicted to Diet Coke. The way my brother chokes down cigarettes, I choke down DietCoke, between 5-10 cans a day. On an allnighter deadline I can easily kill a 12 pack. Well, it's pretty bad. I'm not so concerned with the cancer and blindness threats of nutrasweet (not kidding on that either). Sadly, the big reason I need to quit is because i drink it to fill something in my life. An overall malaise of emptyness that's getting worse and the ol "DC" ain't helping. I'm inhaling a substance with not natural benefits, it's like eating mud to feel better...but more "tasteless" mud. And all to make me feel better, which I never do. So....
Anyways, this is Day2, some will say "I'll believe it when I see it." but me...i'm comitted. Day 2 is today. The caffeine headache will be coming soon, maybe tea will disrupt it.

Omg are you serious. Its like an intervention happened and I missed it. It told em the stuff was evil. CAST IT BACK INTO THE FIRE!!
Free yourself from your chains.... RUN KUNTA!!! I'm proud of ya, just from the effort alone. ;)
Frank Quo is proud of you too. He wish you the same strength that he displayed as he defeated that evil stone samurai statue in his first episode and only episode in Fog Armor: The Animation.
Most comments on one post ever! I should quit things more often, starting today, NO OXYGEN!

Ok...not ready for that yet. Maybe tomorrow. Day 3 is today and I can't say I didn't want it yesterday. I'm sure 1 can a day or something is fine. But, I really want to see if I can feel some physiological changes if I go cold turkey for a month.
Next time you crave it, just think about channeling the power of Frank Quo! Remember, in the wise words of 16 Bars, THE POWER OF CHOICE IS YOURS!!!!!!!
Day 10. I've had my challanging days but I can feel the benefits of drinking 6-8 quarts of water a day. I made a comprimise at lunch the other day and had one Raspberry Iced Tea (first caffeine I've had since D-Day) It's been good, but somedays I still want my placebo to make the pain go away.
