Re: Gatorade addiction
Oh boy. I have kicked soda lots of times, and then it never sticks, partly because I am living with another soda addict. It is actually horrifying when I try to visualize how much of that crap I have ingested. I also get migraine with certain artificial sweetners, so diet soda just isn't the answer (not that it's a good thing anyway).
What has worked is switching to iced tea for the caffeine, and then sparkling water and then off. 1st week I can have 1 or 2 depending on the severity of withdrawal, but that is it. Works, but never more than 3 months. Again partly because my husband is sweet, but also addicted and brings it in, or gets me a Coke if I'm having a bad day.
