Something happened on Saturday which bears some thinking about. I had my last glass of Diet Coke. Well, my last since Saturday.

Normally I do not go more than 12 hours without a DC. I basically can't. I'm like a DC homing device, or a machine that runs on DC. I am Rome, and it is my Trevi Fountain. But it has a pH of about 3, and I have a bleeding throat, and the last time I tried to drink some it was like trying to drink paint stripper. Normally if I haven't had a DC in 24 hours I get a skull crushing headache, but the headaches are just one of my many aches this week, and I've been heavily self medicating, so somehow I've been through the physical side of withdrawal without trying.
It would be mad not to carry it on, right? Really mad. But my DC addiction has become such a part of me, I can't imagine me without it.
I figure one day at a time, and let's just see how far it goes.

Ow!
Actually, that's interesting because while I am not remotely ill, I have been coughing and sneezing blood for a couple of weeks, since I had a previous cold. This is *new* for me.
Beware the DC withdrawl. I tried it 3 years ago. At week 3 I developed the thing named after the small garden bird and I was completely unable to shift it until I went back on the DC. Haven't had it since.
You need to find a Diet Coke Anonymous chapter near you.
I kicked it about six months ago. I got a soda stream and replaced it with sparkling water. It's possible!
Stray - DC's medicinal properties as a fungicide aren't somehow making ti seem more attractive.
CD - I do like fizzy water. But the pH isn't all that different between soda water and cola. What I need to learn to drink is actual water water. But for now soda water will get me through the pangs.
