RE: Wellness Wednesday #2: Four years without Coke and I'm loving it!

Congrats on ditching them must've been thought at first especially since you're used to it. Did you experience any withdrawal on the first few weeks?. For me personally, coke was a forbidden beverage in my family so I rarely drink them. That's because I lost an uncle who used to love coke and I reckon he had too much of it, sort of an unhealthy compound effect that leads to death.Only when I am adult, I saw people drinking that almost daily and I was like " What? how?" then I realized some people just have an addiction to that. Not that I didn't have it. For me it was Starbucks & everyone around me sort of knows me as " the Starbucks girls" but since I am away from it & have no access to it 3 months going, I guess that's a progress towards healthier life and wallet 😄

I couldn't recall any. Or maybe just the mood, days felt less lively for me but it went only for a week or two. After that, I felt I'd been reborn for real! haha As if I've regained my life's vigor that's been missing for years.

Sorry to hear this, Mac! 😔

We all have unhealthy addictions and it takes discipline, tons of it, to start distancing ourselves from these addictions. 3 months is a long time already. Are you planning on sticking to no Starbucks or just minimizing your intake?

I think that's the thing with withdrawal, I experienced similar thing but it's never anything major. I am planning on minimizing my intake, at the moment because I have no access to it, I simply just don't drink it 😄 thankfully, starbucks isn't something that's available everywhere here. I think it's a good way to detox too, going to a place where it's not accessible for a few months. It's not practical but works for me hehe
