    Soda is legitimately tougher for me to give up than alcohol. No hyperbole there. This feeling will pass. I have too much pride to give in now.

    I started with sugarless decaffeinated sodas, and over time moved onto opening them up in the fridge to reduce their carbonation, then went to fruit juices cut 50% with water. Now I rarely have a Coke...but at least I'm no longer hooked on soda.

    Today sucks for me. Here’s hoping for a better tomorrow. What I am going through today will pass. Eventually. Bloody hell.

    I feel like I need a can of Mountain Dew right this very second. I shall continue to deprive myself of the poison that the corporations intentionally make as addictive as humanly possible.

    It gets easier over time. I usually don't even like the taste anymore on the rare occasion that I do try to drink a soft drink.

    I am thinking of starting a brutal death metal band. It starts with the most brutal band name ever - Blowtorch Penectomy. Our stage shows will involve over 5,000 gallons of fake blood a minute.

    I wish I had a bowl of hot chicken noodle soup right now. Along with a cup of hot herbal tea. And a warm blanket. But I am at the office and I have to wait to get home before I do these things.

    I gained 10lbs since the tragedy of a little over a month ago. Eating and drinking tons of sugar to try to kill the pain. No more shall I walk down that road.

    10 lbs isn't that bad. Just jump back on your plan. Sorry to read you have suffered more pain. Hope you are able to push on and feel more like yourself. Like the member who enjoy movies, gaming, great food!

    Sugary soda is actually liquid poison. My belly will thank me eventually for giving it up. It scares me how many calories I was consuming daily from that alone.

    Plus it's horrible for our teeth. l have a sugary drink maybe once a year. This year l had two hot chocolates, one root beer drink. But l did eat cookies, and pastries which are full of crap. :(

    Sugar withdrawal is very real, and the only way out is through. I am drinking water and unsweetened herbal tea, trying to eliminate my soda habit once and for all.

    Sugar withdrawal is real. Sugar causes release of dopamine to the brain. Eating it regularly reduces the amount the body makes. Stop eating sugar = major side effects. Dopamine is part of the reward and motivation processes in the brain, also good mood and concentration. The body will start making more on its own again, but it takes time

    I think you are doing great Metalhead! Its tough work to quit sugar... keep up the good work! It pays off in the end in many ways!

    I scrubbed down and decluttered most of my house today. Tomorrow, I will tackle my bedroom and the bedroom closet. Then I will have a completely clean house to simply maintain.

    It feels so good to have a perfectly maintained place. I have 2 rooms that need organization. l have some furniture to put together to tackle "stuffs'.

    I prefer being sober over being drunk. I am a more skilled gamer when I am not drinking an absurd amount of beer.
