Yeah, you read that right. I'm quitting Coke (the drink not the drug ;).
I won't say that I'll never have any again. I can't think of any way to more surely sabotage my efforts than that. Just that Coke's stock might plummet a little over the intervening days and weeks.
My health has been a little weird lately and I had one of those middle of the night revelations as to the culprit. Coke is, after all, a poison. I gave it a pass since it was my only vice (don't smoke, don't do drugs and drink alcohol so rarely I'm probably safe in saying I don't drink). I don't even drink any other sodas and I don't see the point in exchanging one poison for another. I guess my body has processed as much poison it cares to and it needs better if it's going to function better.
So I sit here, drinking water, and offering a symbolic toast goodbye to my demon-disguised-friend.
Sigh...

Aspartame is why I never did diet drinks, the are so much less healthy that regular drinks. And btw one of the side effects of apartame is weight gain. It's not even a helpful "diet" food. But no diet foods have ever helped anyone lose weight. They all increase your appetite or slow your metabolism. Diet industry needs fat people.
