HELP: Am Addicted To Coke. by yungchop: 10:06pm On Feb 05, 2015
This might sound untrue but I swear down its real.. This is a problem am facing currently in my life.. At first I didn't give it much attention when my room mates were complaining about it.. I later got to notice it by myself..

Am so addicted to coke that I take up to 11 bottles of coke per day! Any time I feel thirsty I don't go for water, instead I go for coke because a bottle of coke to me is like a satchet if water, I can finish it on a spot within 10secs..
And as a medical student I know the implication of this act but I just find it extremely impossible to stop it. My health matters a lot and the future ( you know what am talking about here right??. Lol )

The problem is as far as am still walking on the earth surface I MUST TAKE UP TO 11BOTTLES OF COKE.. come to think of it, I don't take any other soft drink except this coke...

What or how do you think I can stop this rubbish...

11 bottles! Haba coke is carbonated. You can't take such a huge supply of carbon-dioxide without passing out.

So apprently, it's either you're lying or well, after taking an average of five bottles, you become somnolent and assume it's 11.

Generally Sugar metabolism involves the body using calcium from ur system, when u hv insufficient of it for sugar catabolism, our body will look for alternative source, that is the bone, as u comsume more coke(almost 97percent sugar) the more calcium is extracted from ur bone, as u age ur bones becomes soft, resulting to osteoporosis.

Google it and see for ur sef.

Bros na when u start age u go understand how u have destroyed ur body

How much is in a crate? — 24 or so.

Well your pal couldn't handle 24 in a week. He passed and died. Now this dude here yanks 11 in a day and you don't expect him to pass out sooner?

It's only puzzling that he isn't dead yet. Honestly.
Re: HELP: Am Addicted To Coke. by Leopantro: 10:55pm On Feb 05, 2015
whatever is keeping him will soon give out. that's why i want to invest in him as soon as possible cheesy
Re: HELP: Am Addicted To Coke. by Nobody: 10:55pm On Feb 05, 2015
I've once met a woman who drank 70+ cans a day. Its very possible.

Treat this as you would any other addiction- get professional help.

I believe you. smiley
Firstly you have to take this serious like any other addiction.
Probably you're addicted to the caffeine not the sugar...lols.
If you can be determined to get through a week or two without it...you just might be free for life.

It's also good you acknowledge(d) the fact that it's dangerous. Like every other addiction, you won't just stop outrightly - it's a gradual process.
I would suggest you experiment with other "liquids", e.g water, diet/zero coke...yoghurt, zobo...etc.

Finally, anytime you crave coke...think of the negative effects it could have on your body. wink

I think u should be determined in ur mind that u actually want to stop d addiction.

**1st, just picture in ur mind what 11bottles of coke is like, : the sugar content.

**Then think about the adverse effect of too much sugar in ur system.

**Always go around with bottles of water so anytime u have the cravings for coke, u take the water.

** As a neutralizer, get bitter leave juice and drink every other day.

Diabetics is so real, u really have to determine in ur heart u want to quit. Cheers.

You are a Medical student. You should know the complications that follow such.

With the tight schedule of Medical school, where do you get the time to gulp 11 bottles? So you gulp 3 crates + in a week? Congrats.

Stopping such addiction bores down to discipline. As you stated on the main post, you have made up your mind that you must take 11 bottles of coke so far you are still 'walking on surface of earth'. Something must kill man na. If you no wan make coke kill you, change your orientation towards its consumption. Just discipline, no withdrawal symptoms.

At this rate of consumption, you don't need to bother about your health and future. Was consuming between 3-4 bottles and it almost killed me (ulcer join). You should know your prognosis.

I stopped coke and I'm now healed. A still take a bottle but not necessarily daily. Brace up Bro. You can do it.

Sorry for my long epistle. I'm a learner on making comments. Pick the lessons only. May the Almighty see you through.

Hi there, I'm glad you realize your habit isn't good for the body, that's the first step smiley

The second step is attempting to wean yourself off of it, since you take 11 bottles of coke a day, you can use the x - 1 method. So basically reduce by one bottle and replenish with unsweetened home made juice. Please don't replenish with another sugary drink as we're attempting to cut down processed sugar here. Don't attempt water right away either, your body needs time to get used to accepting only water.

It'll be a gradual process so you need time and patience, your body is already used to the crazy amount of processed sugar you give it everyday, any drastic change will throw you back to square one.

You can make juice at home by juicing your favorite fruits and vegetables, add some fresh coconut water for a refreshing taste. You need to invest in a good juicer, check shoprite etc

You have to be determined to correctly wean yourself, watch motivational videos and read up on health blogs, magazines etc, you'll be done before you know it. Health is wealth, best of luck smiley
Re: HELP: Am Addicted To Coke. by yungchop: 5:56pm On Feb 06, 2015
Thanks y'all. I tried so hard not to take a bottle of coke today but I've taken three now and by the grace of God I'll not take any again for today.
I told a friend about it and he suggested that I should take agbo (vinegar) but I don't know where I'll get it from. Does anyone knows how to prepare it? As in what will I say I wanna buy when I get to the market?? Kachisbarbie you should know about this stuff well a grin tongue
