I quit smoking back in December. Last week, I smoked one cigarette because I was in a group of people smoking and it was gross and made me sick. I'm glad I quit.

Now, I'm trying to avoid alcohol and soda.

Alcohol isn't too bad to stop for me, but sometimes i want to have a drink especially when other people are drinking. I want to better my health so I don't want to drink it, but I'm also 21 and want to have fun. Alcoholism runs in my family and I don't want to end up that way. I don't see myself ever being one since i can't handle the alcohol and get sick easily now. However, i still kind of crave, but I think I just crave the relax feeling it gives me. I actually haven't had a drink for a couple weeks. Saturday i had a sip of wine for taste test.

I'm heavily addicted to soda. I know it may seem ridiculous to post about being addicted to soda, but it's addictive. I went four days but gave in and had two and I had to reset my timer on a app I got for quitting things. It's something i need to quit for health reasons.

I know you are heavily addicted to soda like me....I have to drink one a day to stay awake though.

Have you ever heard of a Sodastream? Its carbonated water then you mix syrup being sparkling water syrup or soda. it cuts down on price of each thingy like each syrup thingy makes 9L of soda and costs roughly like $6 syrup bottle. The 60L Carbonator comes with the sodastream and so does a 1L bottle some units you can pay extra and get syrup as well. I own one myself. ITs an option, if you can put the money out to the machine.
