It's the only thing that ever works.

And, in my experience with abusers in my family and circle of friends, the drug itself tells you that you can't or don't need to disconnect to these people, but deep inside you stay connected to them because the drug wants you to.

Disconnect, let them go, they'll get over it.

Good luck, have strength, you can and will do it.

To clarify, I mean this stuff:

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca-Cola_Zero

My enabler got it 4 12 packs for $10 at Kroger.

I was off it about a month. I'll probably bottom out on Diet Dew.

Lord, Give me strength.

Perhaps the Devil made me do it.

McDonald's promotion, any size soft drink for $1000.

Time to buy Mickey D's stock if that promo flies.

When I shop, I get Diet or Zero. But every now and then I'll buy a single bottle of Mexican Coke and go flying off the wagon.

We sell it where I work. It's all I drink at break time when I'm working.
Fortunately I only work three nights a week.
I can't stand "diet" or "light/Lite" anything.

I stopped cold turkey. Can't believe I made it through the summer without even one. It's been 8 months and I don't miss it at all.

But then she's prone to develop bezoars due to complications from diabetes. The acid in Coke helps to keep them forming and can also break them up http://www.gastrohep.com/classcases/classcases.asp?id=47

Way cheaper than that, it would take lot less than that to get me out of my pants.
