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.

Right there with you. I drink over 1 liter of coke zero per day, at least twice what I drank before recovery. Definitely a much safer alternative than the booze...

I know what you mean! I have been drinking way too much Gatorade since I quit. That and coffee.

I'm good with being a 6-pack a day coke zero addict for now

Baby steps....

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.

Sparkling water works for me.

0 calories per can.

Multiple flavors.

Comes in a 12 Pack

Much cheaper than beer or soda.

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

My caffeine habit went up drastically when not drinking. I went from having 1 energy drink in the morning as far as caffeine goes, to also adding in 4 liters of diet Pepsi in the day.

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

Or you could get a soda stream, make your own carbonated water and add juice or stevia and lemon/like extract to make your own sparkling beverages

Coke is much better than alcohol, no doubt. Just be careful with caffeine. Have you tried coke without caffeine?
