Answer 1

People can get addicted to all sorts of things!! It's not a dangerous addiction!!  Just try and wean yourself off of it a little at a time.

Answer 2

im addicted to sprite its just so good

Answer 3

Yes. People have been known to become addicted to coffee, so why not soda?

If you want to stop your soda craving, I suggest you do by mixing low-sugar juices with Club Soda (Club Soda is just carbonated water). That way, you can have a carbonated drink that doesn't contain so much sugar and/or caffeine.



Work your way up to the point where you find yourself drinking mostly water and juices, and I think that your cravings for soda will subside.

Answer 4

Caffeine is addictive, but you covered that.  Sounds like an emotional addiction.  The comfort of the sweet drink may calm you.  This would actually be considered a craving, not an addiction.  With an addiction you would have physical symptoms of withdrawal, such as headaches or irritability.

I used to be the same with soft drinks..until I found out that they are so unhealthy and wreck your teeth and stomach lining and make you fat!

So....

I just forced myself to not have them and not buy them and eventually the cravings go away!

Now I hardly ever drink soft drink..
