Soda Free

15 years ago I was a total Mountain Dew addict. I drove to work with one in my hand and spent the rest of the day walking back and forth to the soda machine. One Saturday I was short on cash, out of soda and craving one real bad. I started digging through couch cushions looking for change to buy one. About mid way through the second couch, it dawned on me this is drug addict behavior. At that moment I declared myself to be caffeine free. I spend all day in bed on Sunday shaking and headache, but I survived it. I was a few days into it and weight started falling off of me.

The next few years I drank only caffeine free sodas. I never drank a lot of them because I was not addicted to them. A few years back I cut out all high fructose corn syrup and my soda drinking days came to an end.
