The day I stopped drinking pop
February 10th, 2008 . by adminI can still remember the day when it occurred to me that I really needed to give up pop. I had my laptop downstairs to do some work while I watched a little TV, and I hadn’t picked up in a few days. There was a huge stack of empty and half empty pop cans surrounding my laptop and on every surface available. And just as you might imagine, one of them got spilled right on the keyboard of my laptop.
I was so angry with myself for not only being such a slob and leaving my empty cans sit out, but I was angry that I’d allowed myself for getting back in the habit of drinking so much Coke every single day. I was probably drinking 8 cans of the brown bubbly stuff a day, and zero glasses of water.
It took another couple weeks for me to finally take the plunge and give it up, but that was what kicked it off.
