I keep craving coke.

[Whatsssupppeurgh]

The drink, not the drug.
Has to be full fat, not caffeine free etc.
I wasn’t bothered about it before really, maybe had a nice cold coke a few times a year with a pizza takeaway or McDonald’s, but generally never drank fizzy drinks, if I did it was Sprite/7 up.
I drink one coffee a day and the rest is water, fizzy flavoured waters.
I keep buying it now and thinking about it 🤷🏻‍♀️I could just drink a cold coke now..so weird.
Definitely not pregnant, have been ill (flu/cough etc) since the New year-when it started really, is it this? What the hell

Also addicted to the full fat stuff, I call it my medicine because it makes my headaches and nausea so much better. I swear there's still a trace amount of cocaine in it

@motherofawhirlwind Do you mind me asking what app that is? If anything is going to get me to stop, it's seeing how much money I'm wasting on it!

Craving coke was how one of my friends discovered they were diabetic, they hadn’t been craving any other sugar so worth getting another test if it’s been a few months since the last.

It’s all the sugar it’s very addictive. I got addicted to red bull not for the caffeine kick but the sugar it’s all I could think about but I noticed if I had something sweet like piece of cake at lunch time I didn’t crave red bull as much.

Nope, it’s because they have formulated it to be addictive. Sugar, caffeine or both.

You have to wean yourself off it. Slowly so you don’t get headaches or cravings.

YANBU - it’s delicious. Ignore the cravings though, keep it as a treat!

I crave sugary stuff when I am tired, or low in energy

easy to be low in energy in januari! It’s so bleak, not enough light, not enough vitamin d

It's addictive, causes kidney stones and diabetes. Please be careful

@BakedTattie 🤣 totally understand why your husband gets worried.

Coke is very addictive, sugar and caffeine.
if you want to get rid of the cravings ditch all coke, full or skinny.

I’m like this. I crave the feeling where it’s so fuzzy it sort of burns the back of my throat. I don’t know why

You had a whole big bottle in the afternoon?

I've had a can open today and didn't finish it. So I'm wondering how big a bottle you had. Also wondering if you have blood sugar ups and downs?

I love this thread so hard.

I’m supposed to be abstaining but I’ve already had one nice cold cock today and might go for another later.

The sugar and caffeine are incredibly addictive. I don't especially like it. If you offered me a coke now, I would probably say no. It's too sickly sweet. I can really take it or leave it.

However, I sometimes buy a crate for the (adult) DC when they are home from uni or for guests at Christmas. Usually I won't touch it BUT once in a while I might take one, say if there is nothing else cold in the fridge on a hot day, then BAM I suddenly start craving it. I'll want another one a few hours later, then another...

Actually all this cock talk might put me off the next one!

I don't have cock everyday.

I’m babysitting my baby niece and I just woke her up howling laughing 😂

Ever since I was pregnant I’ve loved coke but since I’ve been peri and now menopausal I get insane cravings - often before I have a hot flush - defo a guilty pleasure

I was a fully fledged Diet Coke addict of many many years until I got the ‘vid in October 2021 and I’ve not touched it since because it tastes like soap now. I replaced my addiction with hot lemon water for a
while, but now it’s 7up 😂

Same here been ill since around mid December. Very ill, flu, for 2 weeks. Eventually got antibiotics. Ill again within days of stopping them. Most likely tonsillitis. Nauseous a lot of the time.

I've had many a full sugar coke and bag of salt and vinegar crisps as a mid-run pick-me-up after mile 7. Instant energy, starch, salt replacement, fluids. Perfect. At that moment it's a divine combination.

I like my cock to have full energy 😁

Me too! As a typo, that's epic!

I use to be addicted to coke and Pepsi now I gave them all up last year I can’t drink any fizzy drinks anymore it gives me terrible trapped wind and it just wasn’t worth the discomfort anymore and having to lay in the fetal position and being able to feel my intestines swelling up and feeling it all moving about. Best thing I ever did was give up the fizzy drinks. I can now only drink anything none fizzy.

Headaches can be caused by increased blood flow around the brain causing pressure. Caffeine is a vasoconstrictor that causes the blood vessels to narrow restricting the blood flow and alleviating the pain. You can buy painkillers with added caffeine. It's often in the branded painkillers that have "extra" or "plus" in their name.

Your neurologist ought to know that!

Oh God I'm making funny noises, I'd like to say snorting but I think that wouldnt be in the spirit or something.

Anyway nice to meet you Harold's willy.

I drink coke rarely, I dont much like it, but a can and a massive burger and chips from maccyds or BK when hungover is the best thing. Kills me or cures me.

Go cold turkey and give it up, it’s shite for your teeth and you.
