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

If you want it, have it, there's no major harm in it unless you're diabetic maybe.

I had Corona a couple of months ago- my response to it was to eat to try and get some energy. Grin I recovered well.

So maybe your body or mind wants that thing because you've not been well. Go for it unless there are genuine serious health reasons why not. x

My mother’s colleague was told that the numerous cans of ‘cola’ that she drank every day was a large contributing factor to her cancer. I used to drink the diet version but the day I met her and she told me that was the day I stopped drinking fizzy drinks.

I was hooked on caffeine free diet coke - a bottle a a day habit. Then I went for my appointment with a kidney specialist who told me to stop drinking it NOW as it had pushed my potassium levels sky high and put me at Stage 4 - one stage before total kidney failure. Needless to say no more coke!

Just revisiting this to say that my massive coke addition completely left when I’d recovered. Tried a can this evening and whereas I’d happily have had another 2-3 at peak consumption; I didn’t even drink half a can and wasn’t that bothered. Entirely down to being poorly. How very strange.

I'm still struggling with kicking it but I'm only allowing myself one Coke Zero a day
