Day 6 sober, killing a 6 pack+ of diet coke per day
Seems part of my addiction is just having a can to drink from because I've been drinking at least 6 of these per day. Today on my day off I could easily have 8 if I don't make an effort to limit myself. I gotta find something to replace this because it can't be healthy!

I hear you. I'm trying to kick the soda habit also. It's a million times better than drinking, but slowly ease yourself into have bottles of water in between or something else less sugary Don't worry too much though friend.
When I first quit booze I was guzzling at least 10 cans of coke a day....To start off I said it was ok but then it started upsetting my stomach and also made my teeth bad in a short amount of time....Now I only drink Tea, milk or water and I feel much better but I did find it hard to quit the coke lol......At the end of the day it's still a million times better than booze.
I am almost addicted to Pepsi Max..I love it,it makes me fart but anything is better than drinking vodka straight from the bottle ,like I use too...gross.. ! That was 9 months ago now. I think you can feel the need for just something to fill the gap that alcohol leaves..fizzy drinks aren't great I know,but anything is better than alcohol in the early stages of recovery I think x
Diet coke contains aspartame and ascesulfame potassium which are both chemical sweeteners and are toxic! I'd be concerned about ingesting all those chemicals!! maybe switch to Zevia? It's natural stevia sweetened soda. And you can get caffeine or caffeine free
