I managed to quit smoking - what's up with Dr. Pepper?

[molzep]

Cutting down is not easy.  I think I may have to bite the bullet and quit Dr. Pepper just like I quit smoking.  Just don't do it right?

Junkie Dr. Pepper thoughts

"Just one extra today, it's really hot out!"

"I can have an extra today if I skip lunch"

"I walked an extra 15 minutes - I deserve one"

Aaaahhhh - think if I just fight the cravings the Dr. Pepper will be out of my system and withdrawal will be over in a short time?

I know what you mean..... I am ex- Dr. Pepper junkie and the saying goes the same.. You can't drink just one... i don't know what it is about the flavor, but I love it.... I drink diet Dr. Peppers now, so I don't drink as many.... imagine that....lol

At least Dr. Pepper is somewhat "normal". I think I have become addicted to HALLS mentholyptus cough drops!!! And you know what I hate about that??MENTHOLYPTUS is not even a REAL word!!!

You can do it!!!   That Dr. Pepper was never a friend anyway,,,,,,

You know Molly---I think the government has it in for you

>they taxed cigarettes to the sky---you quit smoking!

>now, you reveal a love of Dr. Pepper---and they are going to tax soda through the roof

>OMG---what is next (you don't like bagels do you???Because I love bagels!!!)

Forget Dr. Pepper. I've gone cold turkey on Bojangles lunch: a 32 ounce sweet tea and a steak biscuit. A cool 1000 calories for that yummie combo. I'm so stressed over it you can't believe it. A steak biscuit was always my best friend. Always there for me at he drive up window. I'm not sure I can make it, but I'm gonna try. It helps that the nearest Bojangles is over 700 miles from here. So I'll save a lot on gas. The doctor told me to eat a big mac every once in a while to take the edge off!

Sheri:

Are you saying that strawberry shortcake was your best friend? Always there for you? Helping you cope with stress? I hear ya.

You know something else that is my best friend? Buffalo wings. Deep fried chicken wings. Slathers in butter and hot sauce. Dunked in blue cheese dressing. Now, that's a best friend! I feel like buffalo wings really understand me....

I actually get angry when I have to wait too long for my Big Mac and fries at the drive up window. That's  probably not a good sign.  Oh, and of course I have to have my diet coke to go with that, lol.

Dr. Pepper is my fourth or fifth choice and always has been, but I can see how you might be attracted to it, coming from a syrup state as you do. Snapple Peach Ice Tea is my addiction.

my best friends when I quit were cheese filled hot pretzels and coca cola.  I have quit them both.  🙂
