Exactly a Week Since My Last Fix


My co-worker just popped the top on a soft drink. I swear I heard the fizz escape.

Friends, I'm in pain! I've been good, but I want one.

  2. Deep cleansing breaths, Stevie. Take a pencil and sit down and draw a blind contour of a coke can. Just for kicks.

    There. I knew you'd forget all about it...

  3. No, no, no! Draw it out... theraputic...

    It doesn't taste as good as your starting to feel! Diet Coke is NOT good for you! ICK - NASTY chemicals! Your children and grandchildren need their Grandma around for many, many more years!

    You can do it!

  4. I used to be a Pepsi addict.;) But the softdrink is not as popular as in the US, so I naturally stopped.;) Hang in there.

  5. Be strong. :) You can do it!

    Every time we open the fridge at Frank's place, his parrot Lucy makes the sound of a pop can opening. And it sounds so real. You'd hate her! ;)

  6. What did you replace the soda with? Maybe you just need a little caffeine!

  7. Be strong! I can only imagine how hard it must be. I would believe the first weeks are the hardest! We are all there for you.

  9. You want one, but you don't NEED one! Drink water.... a nice big glass of cold fresh water. It is a much better, healthier thrist quencher.

    Hang in there! You can do it!

    (I yelled that to a lot of NYC marathon runners this weekend..lol)

  10. You can do it! I pretty much gave them up a few years ago -- after about a year of no soda, I started letting myself have ONE root beer on Saturday. It gets me through the craving...

  12. You're not the only one who's fighting the craving. I crave coke when I'm pregnant.

I'm glad you stopped by and I look forward to your comments. As Dr. Fraser Crane would say, "Hello, I'm listening."
