I used to drink sodas.  My favorite is Dr. Pepper.  Switched to Diet Dr. Pepper or Dr. Pepper 10, for losing weight purposes.  I do drink water too, but not as enough as I should.

Well, I when started coughing, and as usual, I’d go for my Diet Dr. Pepper or Dr. Pepper 10, because I love how the “fizz” feels down my throat!

That all changed one day, when I was coughing so hard that I threw up.  I went for my soda, as usual. To my surprise, it did not make my throat feel any better!               I was really repulsed by the soda, strangely enough.  So I got some water… AHHHHH!  So much better!

It, of course, did not cure me of my coughing right away, because I had reflux (see previous post), but it did help my body feel better.  So I started drinking more water and decaf sweet tea instead of soda!

I have had relapses, but not by choice.  Thankfully, I've tried to keep it to a minimum, and still remain on a soda free streak!  For the first time in years, I have not had cravings for soda, and I’m ok with that!     

I think we have also saved some money by not buying soda anymore!  Whoop!!!
