24 hours w/o coca cola

posted 1st Mar
I quit smoking 5 years ago this September 2013..
I did cold turkey, because I was 20 weeks pregnant and because my DH didn't think I could do it.
I am 24 hours without coca cola.
I am planning on going a whole week at first without.

do you think I can do it?

depending on how much you regularly drink it, i would say be prepared for the worst headaches of your life! but you can do anything if you want to bad enough. good luck!!

I went from drinking Dr Pepper daily to never touching the stuff for a WHILE, so I'd say it's definitely possible to do it. Good luck!!

I slowly withdrew from soda about seven months ago.
I feel so much better now! The headaches at first suck, but drinking water and tea really helped me.

Yeah, it would have been 2 days without if I hadn't had a sip of it yesterday morning. I think that off set the headaches yesterday. I'm hoping it wont give me a headache. I never had these caffine headaches when I quit pepsi cold turkey.

The tiredness is the worse part!! I can hardly stay awake....caffeine really helped with that!! How do you get re-energized?

Cutting soda from your diet is one of the best things to do, you'll instantly lose weight and after a while you won't even want it anymore. I used to drink a whole case of soda in a matter of like two days and now soda isn't even appealing to me anymore. I'll drink a regular one every once in a while if I'm at work and my blood sugar drops (I'm a diabetic, and unfortunately they don't have juice here, just soda), but that's about it. I don't crave it like I used to. So.. coming from a former soda-addict, I think you can do it. Good luck!

You quit smoking cold turkey. I think you can handle quitting Coca Cola.
I drank Mt. Dew like it was my job before I got pregnant. I'm talking like 6+ cans a day (SO horrible, I know  ). When I got pregnant, I cut out caffeine altogether. I haven't touched the stuff since August 2011

Tea has caffeine in it if you like tea.. I don't, but I do love some diet peach Snapple or the Crystal Light peach tea (probably because they don't taste like real tea lol). Or you can always drink a cup of coffee!

honestly? i just suffered through it   eventually your body gets used to not having the caffeine and you wont even need it anymore.

I used to be a Mountain Dew fiend lol I'd literally have cravings for it and go up to 7-11 and get one of those giant one liter bottles and chug it down like it was nothing hahah. I'd get headaches if I didn't have my Dew fix. And after I stopped drinking soda, I would drink a cup of coffee every morning (my work has a free Starbucks machine), and when I found out I was prego it was so hard to quit the coffee, but I haven't had any since.

LOL. that's what happened with me...I was so addicted to pepsi for 15 years, I quit cold turkey, and then 2 years later, I started drinking coca cola...and have been addicted for like 1 year now. Pepsi I found, was easier to quit than coke.
