Anybody here quit drinking soda?

[tnewkirk]

I stopped when I was 13 to get in shape for basketball but I never got back to it and I'm now 15. Sparkling water is a GREAT substitution.

I was drinking about 2 cans a day for a few years. last week I cut it down to 1 can a day, and tomorrow I'm going to try to completely stop drinking it.

Is it as hard as most people say it is? How long do the headaches last?

Weird just started going cold turkey 2 days ago. I probably have averaged 3 a day. It's going to be rough

In high school I would drink probably 1 every 3 days or so on average but that wasnt really reflective of my usual habits. I would go weeks without having one and then when I was studying for exams or something have 3 a day for 2 weeks. I dont think I was ever addicted to it though. I was majorly addicted to candy though at the time. As of about a year ago I decided to "quit" and have cut my candy consumption by like 75% over the year. Soda kinda just went with it. Now really I only have soda when I get it with fast food (which Ive also cut down to about once every 2 months) or if I have the odd random craving and happen to have access to it.

All i drink is water and almond milk. Only time I have soda is for mixed drinks. Never really drank it growing up either, but i did get into an energy drink phase a few years back for about a year but I never drink them anymore.

My mothers boyfriend drinks about 4-5 cokes a day and said he has for years. On top of that has 2 cups of coffee in the morning with extra cream. Hasn't had any issues but I can't imagine that ending well for him.

The funny part about pop is if you can cut it for a week it starts to not taste as good if you try it. Used to cut it out during wrestling season all the time. It burns after you haven't had it for a while.

I highly disagree.

Can't believe some people have a hard time with this lol grow some balls. Soda ain't even that good.

I use to down a couple cans of coke a day but havnt had any in years

[Raidaz4Life]

I was a hardcore caffeine addict and decided to quit last May, the headaches were hell but honestly just stick to a good ol pain reliever for a couple of days and you'll be fine.

Honestly when I was in high school I was drinking 3-4 cans of sugar soda a day. When I entered college, I decided to cut it to 2 cans. About 2 years ago I decided to switch to diet and about a month ago I decided to cut it entirely.

It hasn't been a horrible transition so far and I don't think there will be much of an issue keeping it up (may still drink soda w/ alcohol every once in a while), I'm have a lot of body aches since then but I think its due to something unrelated.

[Iansnightout]

I used to drink a couple a day but I quit about five years ago. Now, I only drink diets and probably once every two months.

[Gators123]

Well I said I was going to quit today, but I actually haven't had a soda since Thursday afternoon so its been almost 48 hours

It might not seem like a big deal to other people but I can't remember the last time I went 2 days without soda lol

[hoggin88]

I drank multiple cans per day in high school. I ran track throughout high school and got really dehydrated from drinking so much soda and not any real fluids. I got the chills and started throwing up, the whole nine yards.

It's ten years later now and I have probably had two or three cans a year at the most ever since. Every time I drink it I feel like I am getting dehydrated again and start craving good old water.
