Addicted to Pepsi

I used to be addicted to pepsi but then I discovered Iced Tea and it changed my mind completly.

The only way to get rid of addiction is to reduce the amount of pepsi every time you take, after that reduce the number of times , slowly you can do this , if you will try to leave altogether it would be tough.

Very true...I think it is the caffeine. I was hooked on it once in my twenties. I finally quit drinking it and now I can't stand the stuff. I fyou like tea or coffee, you can quit by drinking a little of that when you get a deadache. It will make the headache stop. But not too much, cause then you will just get addicted to that too.

I think the main reason your addicted would be because of the caffeine. You have to watch and ween yourself off slowly otherwise you will get major headaches. Now I have tried decaff pop but I really didn't like it. But I know if you change to something else you will aquire a taste for it. I changed over to diet pop many years back and I'm so use to it. There is no after taste or anything. If I taste the regular I find it so strong. I also got in the habit of really deluting my pop. I would put a ton of ice in the glass before I had it and I got use to that too. So I think you can get use to something new you just have to give it a chance.

Hi Linda! I have had a different problem concerning drinking Pepsi. A couple of years ago, I weaned myself off of Pepsi, because the doctor told me I needed too. Then I started having trouble with my sleeping habits. During the day, I would get so sleepy, so I started taking naps. Then I would be awake all night. This went on for quite some time, and I could not get back to sleeping nights and being awake through the day when I could get more done. So finally, I was thinking to myself, I didn't used to have this problem when I was working. What am I doing different now? Then it hit me...the Pepsi was keeping me awake during the day. Needless to say, I am back to drinking Pepsi! And I love it! :)

Yeah, I'm kind of addicted to coke. I have to have at least a couple a day or I'll feel kind of lightheaded and weird.
