The question is....will you be able/courageous/adult enough to sacrifice that which merely pleases you...for that which will truly fulfill you? That is the question of personal growth.

I liked my diet coke too. Then I weaned myself down. Now when I want something carbonated, I choose flavored seltzer water. My fav is cranberry-lime....but there are so many choices.

If someone tried to take my Coke Zero it might just start World War 3. Seriously. You'll pry my caffeine from my cold dead hands.

Congrats Adam! Caffeine... ooh boy, that IS a tough one! A lot of times I've found I'll just drink whatever's handy -- I'm motivated by thirst rather than taste. All the same, I wanted to cut out the soda in favor of water but it's mostly been juice so far. But if I give myself a variety, that two liter more often than not stays on the door. =)
Congratulations on being game free for one year. Now, come to a meeting and share your own experience, strength & hope with others who are in that terrible place you were in!

When I quit drinking in 1986, I discovered ice cream. A lot of ice cream *lol* Needless to say, I started putting on a lot of weight, and one night I said to my sponser "I'm putting on too much weight, I need to give up ice cream." He looked a me and didn't miss a beat as he responded "No one ever got arrested for fat driving." Enjoy your soda. It won't ruin your life :) And congratualtions on 16 months.
Grats Adam! That is awesome!
