Day 1 - Failed
Comments:
I cracked at 2:40 PM. However, considering I typically start drinking it around 9:00AM, and basically non-stop until dinner time, I'll count this as a victory, particulary since I stopped drinking coffee Saturday, and started the No-S Diet Thursday. Coffee isn't that much a victory as I never seem to be addicted to it, but I know it's somehow related to the diet coke issue.

I'm going to allow soda on my S days. Just need to kick the habit during the week.

I cracked because I felt like I couldn't concentrate on my work. I've kicked the habit a few times before, so I know this goes away.

Day 2 - Failed.

While having a discussion with my wife, felt I couldn't get the thoughts out (probably classic caffeine withdrawal). Then a huge headache hit. That led to a diet coke, and then a second one during lunch.

I'm still off coffee though. Maybe that should be the challenge for this week--stay off the coffee, and then tackle diet coke.

Kicking caffiene, coffee, sodas can be tough,
hang in there,

Thanks for the encouragement!

Here's my new plan of attack.

I'm going to give myself a No-S day glass ceiling limit on soda, starting with 3 per day, and then going down to 2 next week, and 1 the following week.

I'll see how that works.

Good luck Scott with your new method. Sometimes it takes trial & error before we find what works for us.

Scott,

Using glass ceiling is a great idea!

If you find yourself drinking diet coke during the week, buy it in a bottle, drink it as you normally do and cut back a little bit every day, have half the bottle or just a small glass, sometimes a small bottle will last me 2 days, I too am trying to put it on S days, but I cut down a long time ago so I was not drinking as much of it when I started No S, I was just drinking it everyday. God Bless and good luck.
