My name is Linda and I am addicted to diet coke

Hello all - My name is Linda - not really sure which last name to use anymore legally Stacey but prefer Fisher and I am a diet coke addict.

This morning I planned my family's breakfast around how I could sneak in a diet coke.  I felt ashamed and eventually just had the diet coke out in the open but I know what my kids were thinking.  "She is hitting that dang soda again - why can't she give it up - I mean why does it mean so much?"

LOL when Patrick developed kidney stones this fall we stopped buying sodas and bringing them into the house.  We drink water, tea, crystal light, Koolaid, milk, OJ with meals and in between.  Much easier on his kidneys.  I thought I could give up the diet coke.  I really really did. 

It is not the caffeine.  When they pulled the coke machines at work a couple of years ago and replaced them with Pepsi machines I switched to Coffee in the morning.  And I like coffee.  But there are some mornings and some days where I would kill for a diet coke.  More often than I would like to admit lol.

I think there is something in diet coke that is completely addictive besides the caffeine.  Maybe an investigative reporter or scientist should check it out LOL

Venting

I have or had (not sure which is appropriate) a friend that decided to go into a tailspin with alcohol and drugs and eventually tried to commit suicide.  His friends and family did everything they could to try and help him but he was hell bent on this path of self destruction.  Well after a few months he reappeared and expected everyone to be all open arms and instant forgiveness.  We all watched as he imploded and we were all hurt by what he did.

So tonight he is trying to lay a guilt trip on me because I am not just all happy happy joy joy over his constant ramblings about himself and how he was saved and he is here now to teach us.  I am glad he is ok but this self righteous baloney needs to happen out of my space.  He is not trying to patiently rebuild trust, he is trying to cram his new found religion of self down my throat.

I am trying to be nice and patient with him but several times a week he tries to convert me

oh well
