Six months ago, it was a step too far for me, too! But, I'm really glad I did it. And I'm really glad I didn't fight it until I had the other drinking problem under control, and I was really ready to quit. I knew my diet soda consumption was not normal, and I thought it was probably largely to blame for migraines requiring maintenance medication. It also seemed to encourage drinking thoughts, since I often used it as a mixer. Not only am I feeling much better physically, my spirit feels a lot better, too.
