Free of my addiction . . . .

So, as many of your know, I have been a total Dr. Pepper addict for about 15 years! 12 days ago I stopped drinking it cold turkey. Last night, Matt and I went to the movies and I had been looking forward all week to getting a small soda at the movies and really enjoying it - I was almost more excited about getting the soda than going to the movies! So we go, we get our little treats, we find our seats, and I take a small drink with the anticipation of my favorite flavor and taste in the whole world - IT WAS HORRIBLE! I took maybe 2 drinks from the entire cup and threw the rest away! The taste was overwhelmingly strong, the carbonation burned my throat, and the whole 'experience' was a complete disappointment. However, on the flip side, I now know for sure that I don't need a Dr. Pepper and I don't want a Dr. Pepper. It is nice to know that at 10:00 each morning I don't need to go to the gas station, that I don't need to worry about not having any in the fridge, and to feel alot healthier too! Hurray - no longer an addict!
