Diet Coke Addiction

I have a problem. I am addicted to Diet Coke. In the average day I drink between 2 and 4 litres. I start drinking it as soon as I get up and I drink it until I go to bed. If I don't drink Diet Coke within an hour of waking up I hwill get a doozy of a headache, but I love the stuff. Is there anyone else out there with this same issue? Also, is there anyone out there that has kicked the Diet Coke addiction? I know that it can't possibly be good for me. Would like to hear about how you stopped using.

That is way too much Diet Coke! When I drink with friends from school, I drink rum and cokes only and I can go through 2 liters in a night, but thats just so it goes down easier. Just drinking that is probably destroying your stomach, thats way too whack of a pH.

I am the same way with Diet Pepsi. I have started to cut back, but not altogether. My husband quit, but I don't have the same will power that he does. He drinks the vegetable/fruit drinks and I can't for the life of me right now remember the name. He quit cold turkey and, yes, he got the headaches for awhile, but said that they went away after a few days. I don't like having to deal with a headache at all! I don't know that I could handle one for a few days! I only drink one glass in the morning, but I mix it with ice and it goes further that way. Hope something I have said here will help you! If not, well it is the season for all sodas to go on sale! ;-) Happy MyLotting!! and Merry Christmas!!

I thought I was the only one with this problem!!! I can not go without diet coke. I have spent the last of my money to buy diet coke. I get cranky and moody if I don't have it. My boyfriend gets mad and tells me not to drink it, but I don't think he understands just how I get without it as he is not a soda drinker. I wouldn't mind cutting down, but i don't like the headaches or the moodiness associated with not having any!
