Thanks for including mine. :) The one about drinking soda (pop) really hit home - I drank diet soda exclusively for several years (no water, just soda) until I couldn't stand it anymore. I didn't like waking up in the morning feeling like I needed a 'fix' or feeling like soda controlled me rather than the vice versa. I tried several times to quit, several different ways (and went through the withdrawal he mentioned) and finally managed it. Now I don't touch the stuff. On the bright side, after I'd been without soda for a few weeks, I lost the desire to drink it. At this point, I much prefer water. What a great group of posts. Thanks for including mine. :)
