And at least another drink in the afternoon and another with dinner. I'll probably have about 40 to 50 ounces of Dr. Pepper in any given day. I've tried quitting, but it's so horrible. I get very irritable and everything hurts my head. Also I can't stay awake. If anyone else has had this problem and was able to kick it, let me know.

I used to be addicted to caffeine, and it wasn't pretty. I'd have 8 or 9 cups of coffee a day at work, plus Coke for my lunch, and probably another Coke on the way home. Then, on a Saturday, if I didn't get to have coffee/Coke by about 3pm then I was unbearable to be with. I thought this was a bad thing.

So the trick is to not give up entirely. Have your morning Dr Pepper, but make that it. Then try to drink 2 litres of water in the rest of the day. It's really good for you, and the challenge will stop you thinking about caffeine. Not least because drinking straight water has some of the same stimulant effects (increased alertness, decreased tiredness etc) just in a slightly different manner.

Don't try to change your lifestyle with the click of a pair of fingers. Do it gradually, over time, you'll find it easier. And you should lose some weight too...

:rotfl: man.. that just sounds funny. But i wish i could gain a few pounds, me and my damn high metabolism. :D
 
Well I like D/C, only cos regular Coke makes me high like the moon (or is that hyper?) neway, Pepsi and Mountain Dew are the winners for me, with Coke 3rd.

I don't really like any Diet drinks, but when it comes down to Coke or Pepsi, Coke is my clear winner. However, Dr. Pepper is my personal favorite. :D
