My name is Joseph E. Smith, and I am a coke addict.
I really do not know where to begin here, but I have gotten this far so I can't stop now I guess.
For years now, I have been battling an addiction to coke... caffeine free, diet coke. It's gotten to the point where every extra dollar... and then some... goes toward scoring my next, refreshingly crisp 16 oz. fix.
My wife can nolonger bear to talk at me, she says it's like "... taking to the bottom of a coke bottle" each time she tries to. I am so embarassed, and I don't know what to do or where to turn.
Help?
PS: Pepsi products are so way out of the question.

My wife used to be a coke addict. I have done my best to encourage her in the pleasures of tea, and even coffee, but nothing has "taken". She has passed her addiction on to my son, who is now also a coke addict. She herself has moved on to the hard stuff - Pepsi Max.
The Fridge is full of the stuff. It's getting hard to fit the odd bottle of beer in there.

I still drink the things but have cut way back.
For one thing, we keep more diet drinks than regular in the house now, and I despise diet soft drinks--absolutely nasty. Blech!
Also, we don't keep 'em cold in the fridge anymore--and we DO keep cold water and the odd concoction of Krystal Light made up and cold.
Finally, in the mornings why settle for less when you can have the best? We have a French press and a coffee grinder. 'Nuff said.

P.S. Teachers are so often the very cause of what they try to prevent. When in grade school, a substitute teacher--I have no clue what her name was at this late date--seeking no doubt to be helpful, pointed out to the class that you should drink a glass of water first thing each morning to "lubricate your intestines."
It was YEARS before I could drink plain water after that.

(I imagine if there were such a girl, she'd go all reactionary and start painting like Andrew Wyeth.)
edit because I type fast and dumb.
