Gaarryy - 2008-07-31 2:10 PM I regually have a 12 pack of dt dew every day.. for maybe the last 5 years

Are you serious?!?!?!

yes.. I'm ashamed to admit.. I walk into work with a 12 pack and at least 2 blue monster drinks every day and by this time 2-3pm it's all gone... even weirder is that on weekends I dont' have any..,, well ok maybe just a few but nowhere near the amount I usually consume..

last year I was doing a fast with some people from my church and I stopped cold turkey with no headaches but by 4pm I was nearly asleep

Jebus.

Why did you start back up again?

For years, I was addicted to Diet Rite...would go through a case (remember when they sold 24-pack cases of soda?) in about 3 days. The carbonation wrecked havoc on me. I loved the taste of it, but HATED the way I felt after drinking can after can of it. I'd get all bloated and burpy and just plain felt like crap. One day, I just decided to stop...cold turkey. I haven't looked back since. I feel SO much better now, too. I still occasionally have a beverage (such as iced tea or Fruit2o flavored water) sweetened with Splenda every now and then. I'm trying hard to wean myself off the fake sugar. I mainly try and stick with just water, skim milk, an occasional glass of juice (OJ, cranberry, etc), and sometimes a glass of chocolate milk as a recovery drink.

Had a friend in high school who did the 12-pack of Dew a day. She got an ulcer from it -- for real.

I gave up Diet Coke a couple years ago for Lent.  Not sure why Lent but it was a good idea.  drank tons of water.  But then stress and work took over and I am back to the habit.  trying to kick it again because those $1.25 bottles at work really start adding up.  Water is free!
