INFERIOR BEING! HOW DARE YOU NOT DRINK PEPSI!

>>34763810
drink water and eat a lot of protein, you'll be fine. the cravings suck for 2 weeks then you'll forget all about it

>>34763835
kill yourself

>>34763853

I bought myself gallons of water.

Any time I get an urge for coke, I force myself to drink water.

Is this an effective way to suppress myself?
(P.S) is there a name of therapy treatment for what I am doing?

>>34763810
>being addicted to soda
shaking my head, to be honest.
>>34763835
>pepsi instead of crystal pepsi

>>34764106

Sugar is a very addictive substance. It's odd, because I actually don't like candy/sweet food, but I love coca-cola...

>>34764087
Have you heard of a sink?

>>34763810
Why don't you drink coffee or tea instead of soda?

>>34764229
>drinking tap water

Ever had a look at a water pipe? You'll never drink from the tap again

I thought you meant cocaine and I felt bad for you. And then I realized you actually meant soda. Dear god I wish that was my issue

>>34764317
Newsflash fuckboi, bottled water goes through the same pipes.

>>34764466
newsflash, if you buy bottled water its actually tasteless, unlike tap water. thats how you know its pure.

if you say tap water is tasteless you have a shit tongue.

>>34763810
I have no problem quitting weed, an all day every day habit, for months at a time.

But if I try to cut back drinking soda, I get cravings so bad and end up drinking more than the like, 1 or 2 I let myself have a day.

This shit is evil.

>>34764466
There's a reason people buy spring water from the mountains

The entire point is that it didn't go through the dirty water pipes in cities or towns

Buy polar brand flavored seltzer. The only two ingredients are water and natural flavors, 0 calories and 0 sodium. It's like drinking holy water

>>34764256

I've wanted to get into drinking tea, but not really sure where to start/what to get.

>>34764517
Peppermint, earl grey, green tea and maybe some other tastes would be a good start

>>34764106
how much longer till they get rid of the superior crystal pepsi?

>cut out my addiction to anti-depressants
>can't eat anything without feeling ill
>constant brain zaps
>frequent suicidal thoughts

maybe this was a bad idea

I'm addicted to diet coke.
When I tried to cutting out my addiction I failed because I ran to the store and brought like 7 bottles...

Bottled water is absolutely not tasteless. Almost all brands have chemical additives for taste. You're thinking of distilled water.

Generally any water filtered by reverse osmosis tastes the best, whether it's bottled or from a home system. Spring waters tend to taste no better than tap water. Arrowhead a shit

I used to drink 2-3 sodas a day, but I have since stopped altogether aside from occasionally getting one if someone is treating me to dinner.

My secret is soul-crushing poverty.
If you can't afford the soda, then you won't drink it.

I still occasionally get an extreme craving for any sweet beverage still.

>>34764609
yeah you are right, some of them do have a slight taste. it's minimal though, compared to tap water.

Try adding a little bit of lemon juice to every cup you drink. It'll satisfy your craving for soda. And do keep this up. I dropped soda many years ago and I don't drink it now even if I'm given the option because once you're not addicted to it, you realize that it tastes terrible.

>>34764662

Does it help keeping track of how many days you have gone without drinking any? Like as an accomplishment until you can't be fucked to keep track anymore because it's in the past?

>>34764647
I thought the taste came from minerals

>>34764594
this sounds like me but I don't have any addictions/ no withdrawel going on

Is it possible to kill yourself like this?

Here's the trick, friend.

Drink enough to satiate your sugar desire, and then pour the rest out in the sink then go brush your teeth.

Think of it as serving its purpose by satiating your addiction.

Please stop it.

For the love of god don't do this to your body.

You're only upset because you're eating shit. The entire reason you're trying to kill yourself is because you're doing this.

>>34764801
>he thinks IQ is relevant at all to addiction
you're clearly not that smart

>>34764969
It's relevant to self-control.
If you can see the ramifications of continuing to do behavior before you do it, you're intelligent.

If you can visualize your teeth rotting out down the road because of the action you're about to partake in, you're intelligent.

If you have a vague notion of what drinking soda entails, you're more likely to say "fuck it!" and drink it.

>>34763810
I'm addicted to Coca-Cola
But I like it. Maybe I'll get cancer and die or something, but I don't care if it kills me, there are people who have far worse addictions (anime)

As a smart man, I speak from personal experience, here's a link affirming my stance:

>>34764687
No, keeping track of how many soda-free days will just remind you about your cravings. By not keeping track, you don't remind yourself that it's a challenge. Instead, you'll eventually just accept that you've decided to not drink soda anymore, and at that point you've kicked the habit.

>>34765007
>If you can see the ramifications of continuing to do behavior before you do it, you're intelligent.
no, that basically just means youre not retarded.

>If you can visualize your teeth rotting out down the road because of the action you're about to partake in, you're intelligent.
having a vivid imagination may have some correlation with intelligence, but it also correlates to autism. im not calling you autistic, im just saying that those things you mentioned have little to do with whether someone is intelligent or not.

You're just a dumb-fuck.

I'm too intelligent to continue this discussion with a retard like you.

Like speaking to a brick-wall, am I right my fellow smarties?

>>34765062

riiight from your source, smartie.

Except some people grow up drinking soda since they were kids. There is a dependence on the sugar + caffeine to function.

Why bother arguing with someone who uses websites as sources anyway...

>>34765136
I was one of those kids.
I drank 5 sodas a day when I was 14.

I quit it because it was terrible for my health.

>>34765106
addiction by definition is when the person knows the risks and can't stop using anyway.

The things you linked are more about impulse control and delayed gratification than addiction, which can happen with sugar like in the OP's case

>>34765126
What's that?
All I can read is

"DDDDDDDDDDDDDUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUR EEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRR"

>>34765090
ill give you that that one does say that smart people overcome impulsiveness by "planning, clarifying goals, exploring alternative strategies and considering consequences before [they] begin." one could still argue you dont have to be smart to do those things though, but that one says nothing about having a vivid imagination, smurti.

>>34765244
A vivid imagination lets me see what will be.
It's how I navigate reality, and it has saved me countless times IRL.

>>34765225
hey broddy, I don't think you're very smart.

>They have insatiable curiosity
>They're open-minded

>>34765271
a vivid imagination is cool and all, but its neither the trademark of a smart person, nor am i aware of there being a correlation with self control, which is what we are talking about.
