Been 100% off sodas, coffee and tea now for nearly 60 days - those were definitely MY vices. Never smoked... only drink at conventions (go figure) and never ever did any drugs - outside of Tylenol, Midol and the occassional anti-inflamatory for my back/knee. Recently a doctor gave me codeine for my knee and I was sick as a dog in bed for nearly a week waiting for it to get out of my system. NASTY stuff - I just can't tolerate it.
Funny about the caffeine though - after just 2 weeks away from the stuff I dropped 12 lbs without even trying. Isn't it odd how pure things like water and basic non-processed foods can work such wonders?

I tried to quit caffeine. No go there.
Caffeine alone will actually make you lose a little weight by increasing your metabolism. I think what you quit that made you lose weight was the sugar in sodas, tea and your coffee plus cream if you used it.
I haven't had a regular soda in over a year because of the calories.
