Question for old timers...

[Guest guest]

Anyone else a soda addict?

I used to drink Diet Coke like crazy. I was telling a friend of mine

that there have been times I wake up in the middle of the night and

instead of a glass of water I get a Diet Coke. When I was out of it, I

would actually get dressed to go to Jack In The Box and get a mega huge

Diet Coke.

I was very concerned about this before surgery. I thought it would be

horrible but it hasn't been in the least. I honestly don't even miss

it. I have no clue how that happened. A few others I have talked to

are just like me. Mega addicts that don't miss it in the least. How

does that happen?

Anyone else NOT miss soda? Or if you do miss it, what do you do?

Occasionally, I miss having an ice cold beer. But like soda it is a carbonated no-no. I especially seem to miss it when I am fishing with my husband, or when a container of Bitter lands on my island. But being a 'normal size' feels better than any beer I ever drank, so I just take a deep breath and remind myself that I can do this. I haven't even had a sip of beer since the middle of June '06!

Hi Cathryn, I have figured out how to de-fizz beer :-) I pour it into a 2qt picture and leave it in the fridge over night. Then pour some in a cup..then get another cup and pour it back-n-forth, cup to cup until there is no fizz left.. yummy FLAT cold beer is what ya get..lol...Hey, It works and is really good with steamed crabs!! and out on the boat on a hot day!!
