Off the Wagon

When we moved to Davis, I pretty much gave up drinking Coca-Cola. I'm not sure what prompted the change, but for three solid months I think I had a grand total of three sodas. It's not like I was completely addicted to Coke in the first place, but I typically had a Coke a day. Sometimes two. Plus some refills.

After three months of good behavior, I have fallen off the ol' wagon. I think it started at Costco, when Will got a free fountain drink with his hot dog purchase. And then I got a free beverage with my Ikea kid meal and they were all out of the lingonberry juice. Before I knew it, I had a 2-liter in the fridge and was drinking a Coke with my burger at The Habit.

I swear, when that 2-liter is gone, I'm back off the Coke. I think I might need to join a program to make it through the quitting a second time. Does anyone want to be my sponsor?

I've had the Costco hot dog derail a diet before. That $1.55 combo is dangerous!

Ha! That's happened to me before...I can go months without drinking any kind of soda, but once that sweet, sugary nectar touches my lips, it's like, bam, I need lots more of it!

I can't be your sponsor. I'm addicted to Coke Zero. It's still bad for me and If you want to form a club I'll join!

I am considering dropping soda in 2008, with the exception of a once-a-month root beer to tide me over. I don't drink coffee, but soda is my weakness and it does my teeth no favors. And root beer floats are my favorite dessert. I am so torn.

I'd be your sponsor, except seeing as how I'm currently chugging a giant sugar-free Rockstar... maybe I'm not the best candidate :)

I was doing so well with not drinking any kind of soda....but then school started back up in August and I needed my lunch time Coke to help me survive the afternoon with my students. Now I'm drinking way too much Coke again...

Um, good luck. Personally, I would drink Coke Zero through a feeding tube if I could figure out how.
