Addicted to you

Insomnia, deep watery eyes, yellowish teeth and unable to concentrate - if you have these symptoms, you might be one of us…

Hello. Recently I discovered that I was taking more Coke into my body than water. It started a month ago when the company bought a Coca-cola bending machine as one of the perks in the office. Since then I had a can of Coke in every meal and snack. I drank coke to boost my concentration during deadlines and to keep me awake during overtime. After a few weeks, my body started to deteriorate. I felt weak, always sleepy, and I had a hard time concentrating. I definitely must do something about this.

I asked a friend who works for a drug rehab on tips to successfully withdraw from coke addiction. She have never really treated anyone addicted with coke before but she said it helps to quit gradually. She advised that I take alternatives to coke like iced tea or lemon juice because she suspected me to be addicted in caffeine.

Although the FDA does not say anything about Coke, it warns us of substance abuse which is as deadly as drug addiction. Coke, like beer, is harmful when we take more than enough.
