I've replaced it with unsweetened iced tea). That was almost two years ago. My husband has a serious Diet Pepsi addiction and it really worries me. He drinks around a six pack a day. I could show him studies for weeks on how it is affecting him but he is so stubborn that it doesn't matter what I say. So he'll have to learn the hard way. Great post.

I learned a great deal from the comments on this post. Drinking soda really is an addiction. I am afraid that I don't have much advice for you, having never had to quit it myself. But I can offer my support and be a cheerleader. Send me an email and I would be happy to help you! peaceloveandmuesli@gmail.com Thanks for your comment.

It was a family thing. Now, I am a habitual Caffiene-Free Diet Pepsi drinker. I have tried unsuccessfully quitting soda alot. For me, it's not the caffiene (obviously) but rather the HABIT of drinking it along with the flavor goes hand in hand with my meals, etc... Like how milk goes with cookies......my CFDP goes with my lunch and dinner. I have tried replacing with water (I do drink alot of water aside from soda, about 72oz.) at meals, but it is not the same and I don't feel satisfied. On a plus side, I have managed to ONLY drink soda when I am eating lunch or dinner. It used to be ALL day! At least I drink water all througout the day other than meals. Actually, I came across this site while Googleing for ways to quit soda for good. Funny how I managed to quit smoking 4 years ago -- but that soda is harder to quit?!?!?!? I really want to be soda free. I just don't know of a good way to stop having it and actually KEEP it that way! I am definately open to suggestion. I did see the post about mint water...sounds good, but I don't know if it will take the place of my dinner-time soda. Thank you for reading my long-winded post. :) I think I was born with a Pepsi in my hand!! It was a family thing. Now, I am a habitual Caffiene-Free Diet Pepsi drinker.

I've heard a lot that if you were a drinker you will continue to crave it. I wonder for how long? Thanks for your comment. My MIL has been reading a lot about PH eating too. I will have to look into alkaline water. That’s great that you cut it out. I’ve heard a lot that if you were a drinker you will continue to crave it. I wonder for how long?

I'm a big PH Diet follower and truly believe that everything in Diet Coke is Cancer Causing. We know cancer thrives in a acidic state and grows rapidly. So what to do? Try to make your body high in alkaline. I've known people that have reduced tumors to nothing by drinking alkaline water. I'm a huge proponent of this. I don't even require any caffeine, the Alkaline water energizes me and I don't get the sluggish feeling every day at 3pm any more. Sometimes it's hard to stay away from Soda because it is everywhere, but I never travel without my water bottle... even when we vacation!

I bought it in the large bottles and just kept my glass full. Then, when I began thinking about having a baby, I stopped buying it so that my baby would have the best start possible. That was nearly five years ago. The BPA, aspartame, and the fact that I'm nursing keep me away now. Whenever I catch a glimpse of it at the grocery store, it beckons me, but I refuse to buy it. I have to confess that a couple of times a month when out to lunch or dinner I do have one glass. I know I shouldn't...I really do. Sigh. There was a time when I drank Diet Coke all day long.
