No not the drug

I have now been without Coca Cola for over 36 hours. I think this may well be the longest pop-free time I have had since I was 16. I wonder if people realise just how addictive this bloody stuff is at times...

I'm a person who needs my stimulants, nicoteine caffiene etc... my sugar intake is almost non-existent (though people who have met me may not believe that but it's true!) thus my sugar-shot comes from the fizzy stuff. Going back three years to when I was a chef I would drink up to 2 or 3 litres a day (yeh I know, I know) however now being in the rat race and working in an office I am suffering the outrageous slings and arrows of 'no exercise'. Thus I have put aside my two small cans of Coke a day (not a bad reduction from the gluttony of old) and rewound the aerobics tape.

*sigh...

Thirsty now.

i luuuurveee coke, i cant get enough!!!! i too used to sup big bottles at once and i always had 1 at bedside... i now exist on buying a small bottle only couple times a week!!! i will not abstain totally!!!!

I get my caffeine hits from tea and coffee (neither of which I take with sugar). Very rarely drink Coke these days, not that I ever did much. Coffee at work, tea most other times. Cheers

"If you like this drink, why not Share And Enjoy it with your friends?" "Because I want to keep them!"

u wanna keep what???

i don't like tea/coffee/milk, hence my coke habit!!! i also luurve it wiv vodka!!!!!

Lol, sounds like you got a real addiction there. I have actually succumbed in the last 24 hrs to one coke as I thought there was a danger of collapsing from sugar-free shock. Soooo tired all the time.

I'll beat it one day

If you're that tired I recommend extremely unPC Nescafe Instant Espresso (two sugars if your off'ring) me dear - very bad for you, but a huge kickstart. Do not veer the way of the infamous Red Bull. It does not give you wings, nor is it stimulation for the brain...

...think pro-plus.

But Ad's tea and cake should go down a treat.

Green tea is very uplifting - seriously.

Here endeth the lesson.

vodka n red bull.....mmmmm.... wiv a vodka n coke chaser, repeat till absolutely hammered!!!!!!!
