Diet Soda Addiction

Regular soda.  I guess that doesn't count, but I don't consider diet soda to be something any human should put in their body.

Keep it up. I went through that about 10 years ago. On a whim I decided to trade soda for water to be healthier. I had never been a water drinker in my life. As a kid I drank milk almost exclusively (don't believe what the commercials say about your bones, I only made it to 5'6"). Anyway, over a couple week period I made a conscious effort to drink tons of water. All day I nursed a water bottle. And in no time I came to love it. Not only did my cravings for soda disappear, but slowly my cravings for sweets in general followed--ice cream, candy, etc. I just have no sweet tooth anymore. And I didn't even make an effort for the other sweets. That was just an unintended side-effect.

It's now been years since I drank a soda by itself, just to drink. I'll still have rum&cokes and vodka tonics, but if it's not diluted by half with a hard liquor, no thanks. Even when I order a meal at a restaurant that comes with a free fountain drink I still fill the cup with water. Everything else offered is gross.

I built my own carbonator, BYOC  :D

It was pretty easy, 5LB CO2 ~ $70 plus about $30 on hoses/parts and a carbonator cap and I was in buisness. I already had a regulator I found in my dads old beer making equipment. I spent as much as a sodastream but I can exchange my CO2 cylinder for $10 and it lasts me over a year. The only downside is it's not very "counter friendly" so I keep it under the kitchen sink, which works pretty well.

When I first set it up I carbonated just about anything I could get my hands on, Iced coffee, tea, juice, wine...but really I just am addicted to carbonated water, sometimes with a little lime juice in it. I still drink a coke every now and again though. Nothing but real soda for me though I HATE all that diet crap.
