I was almost tempted / myLot

I arrived home last night while niece and family had their dinner almost finished. The bottle of Coke caught my attention. It's been months that I didn't drink beverages like this because it will trigger my reflux. I fought my urge to get tempted because in the end, it's always late to regret what you have done to yourself.

I understand. It's hard to give up something we really like. I'm not supposed to drink carbonated beverages, either.

That's right but there are times that giving up is the only option.

Don't feel guilty. Anything we willingly or unwillingly gave up tempts from time to time. These are just subconscious triggers from the past. Congrats for resisting!

@m_audrey6788 My problem is when I tried occasionally for even a sip, it would become habitual again so better not.

I have cut down on my soda as well. If I do drink, I keep it to just one small bottle a day.

It's still everyday? But that is good that you'd now lessen the number.

It's good that you managed to control yourself. But would it be okay if you just have a small sip? Will it still cause a problem to you?

A sip may lead to drinking more.

It is good to know your triggers and to avoid them.

I can understand . It's hard to resist the things you like the most. I am diabetic so I am not allowed to eat sweets and I hardly able to stop myself for them.

It's difficult to avoid at first.
