    Hey Loublue

    My only source of fluids is via Diet Coke or Pepsi - I take 2 litres into work and have more on the go at home (im sitting with a large glass next to me).

    Just a hello from another self confessed addict! x x

    Hi,

    My name is Candy, and I am a former Diet Coke addict. I had been addicted for approx 15 years. The reason I gave it up, is that I have PCOS (dodgy ovaries), and I have a funny reaction to sweetener.

    My husband and I used to go to the pub most Saturdays, I swapped from a pint of Diet Coke (£1.45 ish) to a Pint of Lime & Soda water £0.35 (ish) :beer:.

    You notice the difference in price if you do this for a year.
    Debts at the start of my journey - about £23,000 lightbulb moment 01.03.2007 (1st payment to CCCS)..Debt Free Date 25.06.2013 Deposit savings £17,000/£30,000

    Well done to you. :T Problem with me is that I don't think I have any bad reaction to DC, been drinking it for years and don't think I have any side-effects, (as I can't see my insides....) which is why I posted. Hoped someone could tell me exactly why I shouldn't drink it. :confused:
