Help!!!I Am Addicted, How Can I Stop? by Krasid(m): 5:38pm On Sep 02, 2013
It all started from my childhood.My parents buy drinks everyday and I couldn't eat without having a soft drink to go with it.Right now, I can't stop and the addiction is killing me.I know there are lots of side effects but I just can't stop.

Please, How can I stop this addiction?

We plenty for dat shoe, my addiction started in d university, noo cooking=one egroll+abottle of coke.
Try to keep reminding urself of d dangers, and u can try replacing wit flavored water or tea, and reduce gradually dont go cold turkey, from trice a day to once, or once a day to 3times a week,and so on, i hope u get dere, i am also fighting d same battle, i only drink it now when i am stressed i.e after a long day wit no food in sight, i hope to get to d poin where i can say no when i am offered soft drinks.

I was in the same shoe and still falls for it sometimes. I decided to switch to fruits. You could blend them paw paw, pineapple, watermelon, apples, and veggies too carrot, might not be easy but since you are replacing the soft drink with a healthy drink it would be easier.

My name is TYOR I am an addict. Contrary to cabonated drink....my addiction is Tea.

I take a cup of Tea (PG Tips) with every meal. Even tho i dont take it in public places, my tea is always in my bag in my car.

At work, I will eat at the canteen then get back to my desk to take tea. Most days, I do not drink water.

Thanks for the advice.I have been taking some fruits and it has taken my mind off soft drinks at the moment.Though I am not so used to it, I know that with time everything will change.

for me i don't think habits can be stopped or rather addictions, u just have to substitute them with something else, either u start by reducing the qty of soft drinks u take gradually or u start a water diet

krasid,in can really relate wif ur case. its more of a psychological issue but just like any other addictions,yours isnt different. i wuld suggest dat u take fruits in the place of softdrinks.watermelon,orange juice,apple juice,pawpaw juice,e.t.c. are more refreshing and nutricious 4 ur body. i wuld also suggest dat u take in plenty of water ih order 2 keep u hydrated alws.

If you observe,soft drinkslike. Coke for example and tea like lipton or sumtn all have a common compound,CAFFEINE.that is what gets you hooked.they tend to gv u this feeling that makes you crave them all the time.so when u want a drink,buy a fruit juice.u can alwas have dat in the car or anywere.ts a whole lot better.and then the water therapy is ofcourse the best Trust me.this things take time but gradually u will cut the excesses if u r determined to.
