Slow down, you have been gulping poison into your system.
Start serious exercise to remove the sugar from your system.

You know the repercussions. ...but have you ever seen them?.... Go test your blood sugar level...if it is high for you a young person...you should know you are speeding down the road to diabetes. Diabetes?....no big deal....if it's too much they would start amputation your toes and then move up to.....go figure.

Hi nairalanders, ... Pls help me, I take soft drinks everyday... I know the implications but I feel overcome by it.
Any idea on how to stop this..
I know there are many people in my shoes.
Please advices.

The easiest way is to replace it with something healthy e.g. buy and drink bottled water when you craze for soft drink or mineral water or vitamin water, etc there are many replacement/alternatives out there.

At first, it will feel weird, but with time you will get use to the alternative, it is mostly psychological aka 'mind games'.

My dear, you are not addicted to anything rather you lack self-control. Inability to have control over your OWN very self a problem is a big sickness. You can say no to things that doesn’t help your health. So try!

True confession. You aren't seen nothing yet. Diabetes and Jedijedi will visit you soon. No one will tell you to stop.

Its good you realised the implications of excessive intake of soft drink, and you have taken the 1st step which is trying to stop.
I was once in similar situation last year, I was addicted to soft drink, juice, fruit wines etc. I knew I needed to stop, but I couldn't. Whenever I go out or when drinks are at home(we have crates at home most times) I tend to take it often always saying to myself "this will be the last drink" but I kept on taking it. Funny thing was when people are in group talking about their addictions and I say am addicted to drinks they laugh it off. I felt bad cos I needed help to stop but no one understood me saying one or two soft drinks everyday aint addiction. But that's how addiction starts.
I believe addictions are things we stop on our own without even realising how we stopped it. I woke up one morning in november and said to myself I needed to stop this by all means, and that was it from nov till now I can't remember taking any drink except on dec 31st where I took a glass of pure heaven wine at a friend's trad. As at from nov till now I haven't taken any liquid that is not water or tea. When I go out or on occasions I take water instead, seeing drinks now sort of irritates me.
So cheers friend, you can do it you just have to be determined, discipline yourself and be committed to stopping or reducing it.

Low blood sugar also causes diabetes.
Re: Help!! I Am Getting Addicted To Soft Drinks. by blackfase(m): 10:38am On Feb 16, 2016
For some people its no big deal really. Depends largely on how you manage it, take for instance do you engage in sports? The most apparent dangers of this are primarily obesity and/ or diabetes which regular exercises will effectively take care of. Others will resort to more "traditional" means of ingesting herbs "agbo" to keep it in check, though not too sure if that's conventionally acceptable. So conclusively as this may present a problem to a particular group of people, its pretty routine stuff for others. By the way, I guzzle a bottle a day but I burn calories actively.

Re: Help!! I Am Getting Addicted To Soft Drinks. by sulakishop(m): 10:52am On Feb 16, 2016
I used to be like that before and cant even eat without soft drinks but I later learnt to replace it with tea. I prepare about 5 cups every morning, take one and keep the rest in the freezer to be taken whenever i had the urge for soft drinks. Eventually, I gradually reduced my tea intake and later stopped completely.

Hi friend, its not healthy at all. That's sugar you are storing into your system, you may not see the aftereffects now but in the long run. Try to reduce it

If you can stay away from drinking cold water, you will able to stay away from soft drinks. Because if they're not cold, they're not appealing.

How can one stay away from cold water in this hot weather ? Impossicant.
