I'm hooked on Pepsi, and the caffeine in it.
I love the way Pepsi tastes, looks, smells, feels, I love how I feel when I drink it.
I had been doing so good not drinking it, since it is literally killing my teeth, and the other day I caved and bought a 2 liter which I finished in a few hours.
I just got another root canal the other day, because one of my fillings went so deep it irritated the hell out of my nerve. Now I'm taking hydros, which I fear because I have been addicted to them before, and advil--the pain is horrible, horrible nerve pain. I'm trying to wait it out to save my teeth and see if it gets better. If it doesn't, the remaining bottom teeth on my left side will have to have root canals. It's all they can do.
This is my 3rd root canal since 2010.
I'm 17 years old. My teeth started looking awful after my braces, which took all the enamel off my teeth.
Now the soda addiction is killing me. With the pain, and the hydrocodones making me sleepy and drugged, I keep drinking more and more Pepsi.
I can't stop. Right now I feel hopeful that, as long as I keep taking advil every 4 hours on the dot, I can maybe wait a few months and see if the pain cuts out...but I feel helpless as to how I'm going to give up Pepsi. Now I have to start all over. I'm so disappointed in myself.
Yet I sit here drinking a cup of it as I post this.
Ugh.
I can't stop. It's so hard. I get aches when I don't drink it; my mind wants it all day. It's so yummy. I see it on TV. I see it in the store. My mom drinks it all the time and so does my sister in law. It's at most of my friend's houses.
I love it so much.
I shouldn't have it...I'm trying so hard. It's not working.
I guess I'll start over now.
If I make it through today then tomorrow will be day 1 of no pepsi in a long time.
