Now, I have my coffee in the morning and water the rest of the day. It helps that our drinking water tastes great!

I now limit myself to a small glass of a clear pop, like Sprite, to eliminate caffeine, but to cut down further I like to have some icy water and I add a slice of lemon or an orange. Even adding a teaspoon of sugar to this if it helps is way less sugar than what is in a can of pop. Stick with it.

Well, we recently bought one of those soda makers. Love it!! One of the syrups they make is comprable to Coke Zero and it satisfies me. AND it's sweetened with Splenda. No aspartame or phenylaline.

The burn of the carbanated liquid the first thing in the morning is instant relief and I love the taste.

I quit smoking after forty years {and we all know how bad that is for you} but what to remember .. one day at a time; one hour at a time; find things to take your mind off your addiction -- want a pop; do a puzzle {I found it better to do something new versus something I used to do while "drinking my pop"}. Good luck -- you CAN do this -- I promise!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13955664215958269190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4853189307591180820.post-46462206823911431262012-07-02T11:59:49.430-06:002012-07-02T11:59:49.430-06:00I have complete confidence in you Lori!!!
