As I mentioned in a previous post, I am addicted to cokes. I love Coca-Cola, Dr. Pepper, etc. I have decided to beat this addiction. My goal is to start by limiting myself to two cokes a day for a week and then one coke a day and then down to none. I plan to substitute water for the cokes I drink.

I have read on the Internet stories of people getting massive headaches from caffeine withdrawal. I never experienced these when I stopped drinking coke for my two pregnancies, so I hope I will not this time. That is why I have decided not to go cold turkey. I am trying to make the best out of the situation and not cause anymore pain or concern while doing it.

I have also found a great post about the dangers of coke, which is can be found here. I don’t allow my kids to drink coke because I didn’t want them to become addicted like I was and now I have even more reasons.
