I Think I Have Kicked It........




.....My Monster addiction that is. It has been 9 days, 2 hours, and 12 minutes since I have had one and my shakes are almost gone. Just kidding!!! In all honesty it has been over a week since I had one and I am feeling pretty good. I decided that I was getting a wee bit out of control and I needed to do something about it. So I decided to quit cold turkey and it was easier than I thought. The fact that my habit was costing me about $60 a month was also an incentive to quit. Now if I could only do something about my Diet Coke problem. LOL!! I don't think I'm ready for that yet, one addiction at a time :)

WAY TO GO GIRL!!! Good for you : )
For two years I drank nothing but water or milk (milk not very often)I loved breaking the pop habit. Do you call it pop in sunny Cal? But this summer I got hooked on Diet Rite which is really nothing but brown fizzy water! LOL!
I need to get back on that 12 step thing!
Glad you fought off your "Monster"

Good for you!

Do you want to meet at Starbucks to celebrate?;)

I'm trying to cut back on my Diet Coke consumption too....Not for health reasons as much as financial ones. Sigh. The shrinking pocket book is a powerful motivator.

I'm proud of you, friend!

God Bless,
Amy:)

Congrats on kicking your habit :) When you figure out how to kick the Diet Coke habit - let me know...I've got a Diet Barq's habit that needs to be reigned in ;)

Congratulations, Gina. I'm impressed with your willpower. I have NONE. I want to give up Coca-Cola very badly but I love it so much. I don't drink it as much as I used to but when I get my lips around a staw that is in a fountain Coca-Cola, I am transported to another dimension. Maybe I'll be inspired by your Monster habit kick.

Wow...good for you! I've never had a Monster, but I did 9do) have a 'coke' habit. Give me Coca-Cola any day of the week and I am a happy camper. However, it had gotten out of control too, so hubby insisted (with my very hesitant agreement...knowing he's right) I quit. I'm glad because 4 cans a day is a bit much. Now, I do allow myself to have a coke 2-3 times a week. I still need to cut down, but it's way better than before. I'm glad you've been successful!
