people get addicted to the caffeine in the soda. Before i moved a few years ago, we had a soda called Ski. I drank it every day, a few times a day. I honestly couldnt stop, if i did, i got really bad headaches and was a total hag to everyone around me. I was told when i didnt drink it, it was the same as withdrawl symptoms many people have on cigarettes, and other drugs.

crazy...i know..

but i do believe once u stop, u can stop for good. I havent drank the stuff in aout 2 years. I tried a sip last year, and it tasted horrible to me. Thank goodness :] No wonder i got fat! haha

I liked the word "deprivation", like it was water, air, or sleep

Always a smoker, always a potential smoker, no i don't think so. I gave up years ago, and it does not interest me now at all.

Probably caffiene in the drinks that is addictive.

Well actually the diet soda was an addiction in some ways for me whether the caffeine or the Aspartame I really don't know. It may have been habit forming, however I am happy to report that I am finally not drinking it and I only drink water now.

Cigarettes are not good for people but they smoke it and so are a lot of other things. Some healthy people that have never been overweight a day in their life may ask some of us, "Why the Heck are you people so fat??? Is food addictive or something??? So I don't question people's addictions, I just try to support their resolve at quitting.

So I didn't think diet sodas was healthy but like food, I enjoyed them immensely! But now I'm over it!
