I have a new addiction.

Cherry Coke Zero, I could drink 10 a day. That is not good for me, but water is not cutting it. I love coffee and tea, but Cherry Coke Zero is my new go to drink.

Tell me about it! Add (when I can find it) Vanilla Coke Zero to that list, too.

Just don't pee your pants

For me it is fountain diet coke with lots of ice. It I want to take a walk on the wild side I will put a squirt of cherry or lime in it. I am just a wild and crazy guy

One of the things I have discovered is recovering alcoholics are really fun people they just do not drink

Agree with SR being a very positive addiction!! Thank you all for being here to not only listen to my banter but more importantly understand.

Yay for recovery!

well it's got to be better for you than what you were drinking previously. Lol! And at least you wont knock people out with beer breath! I'm into sparkling water with a slice of lime. Bit of pain in work as I need to go for a piddle every few minutes!! However, that also shows me I'm not dehydrated, so good news all round. Ha ha!

I'm also addicted to S.R!

When I was in Puerto Rico, I noticed they were selling something called Malta. I thought it was alcohol, turns out it was a type of soda. I'm bummed now that I didn't try it!

Hmmm... Odd man out here. Seltzer only. Never any favors. Rarely a coffee. Teas are good but again not often.

Odd man in here..... SR as an addiction.

I've been drinking a ton of different no calorie/no carb carbonated fruit drinks. It's actually getting a bit overboard and I'm trying to transition to club soda and de-caffeinated tea (assuming I find ones that are naturally DC'd). I'm not crazy about drinking a bunch of artificial sweetners, plus one reason I quit booze was because it was costing me $125 a week- no sense in spending the same on soda!

Still, anything that keeps me from drinking booze is good! At least diet soda isn't shellacking my liver!

They do these mints called Trebor Extra Strongs in the UK. I thought they only did them in peppermint flavour. Well yesterday I'm in my local newsagents and I see that they stock them in spearmint flavour. I keep a pack on me at work and go through them really quickly. They are just so damn tasty.
