I will never let go

Today is the 4th day, and counting, since I've had some of this brown and bubbly deliciousness. That's right. I'm off the stuff. It was time. I had my farewell one on Monday afternoon. Giving it up, just may be the death of me. It has been so hard. Just yesterday I saw it on sale for $3.24 for a 12 pack. ONLY $3.24 FOR A 12 PACK! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? I almost picked some up. You know, just out of habit, not because I was already ready to throw in the towel. How I passed it up, I will never know because normally, that would be like Christmas, my birthday and Easter all rolled into one for me. I have had some Sprite. Just to have the feel of something fizzy in my mouth. Obviously, it didn't even come close, but I tried to pretend that it did. I will try my best to stay the course and keep strong. I will keep my beloved beverage safe in my heart and my heart will go on. (I hope.)

I just landed here from Mormon Mommy Blogs and this post made me laugh. It reminded me of my husbands Mountain Dew obsession. Darn those supermarkets for trying to give you a good deal so you'll fall off the wagon:)

LOL this is the time when I start restocking my Dr Pepper food storage. Because you better believe that I'd rather starve than go without the DP.

I fell off the Diet Coke wagon last week. I hadn't touched the stuff for 2 months!! It's delicious.

Amy - food storage was exactly what I was thinking when I saw that price. ☺ I think I just may die without it. I'm crying right now just thinking about it.

When I read your post I thought of the Whitney Houston song "I Will Always Love You". May you survive this hiatus from your beloved beverage!

Kristen said...

Just take deep breathes, think about something else. It will all be okay...

I go in cycles. I can go for a few months without a Coke or the Dr. but it usually doesn't last for longer than that. I need to break my habit for good. Good luck!

So you are really going to give it up? Way to go you can do it

I can only imagine how hard it must be to get off the stuff. It would be like me going off chocolate. I'm eating handfuls of chocolate covered raisins as I type this. Yikes.

I'm pretty sure there is also crack in those little red cans in addition to the caffeine. I cannot stop drinking them!

Ok, so now you are making me think I ought to give up DC again. I gave it up for 12 months!! Yes 12 whole freakin' months. Then I got back on it and now, I'm stuck again!! I think it's time!! hmmm maybe you've inspired me!! You go girl!! Be strong!! I believe in you!!

You are braver than me, but perhaps you shall inspire me to walk in your path. Maybe.
