One outside the world of addiction would probably say oh why can’t you quit that when you’ve quit everything else but that’s what makes it so hard - it has no clear obvious negative effects.
But for all the Buffets we hear about, we don’t know to the extent to which this trash messes up our systems and who knows how many people have died from the cancers it causes (if that is proven to be one of the effects)....or whatever else it winds up being proven to cause.
My best attempts have been when I’ve gone to iced tea instead.
We are in the same boat. I drink iced tea, diet soda, and water....and that is about it. I could easily quit diet soda by just sticking with iced tea, but I think the caffeine in the tea I drink keeps me up more. In any event, iced tea is probably better, even though I use Sweet N Low. There are contradicting studies now on Sweet N Low, as it may not be harmful at all.
Back in the day, everyone suggested drinking milk...not so much now. In fact, anyone trying to drink a container (not sure what the size, but not outrageous huge) of milk and keep it down, will usually throw up...they have challenges like that, so there may be nothing negative about it.
Water only would have to be the best way. If you screw yourself up doing that, then you just have to take the loss.
