HEAVILY addicted to Cherry sodas, Dr. Pepper. & Pepsi IN NEED OF HELP!

Hell Dr. Hull, I am having severe problems. I am 18 years old and have drank soda since I was 6 or maybe 7. I would love it and now after 11 years I get at the point where if I'm depressed I'll run to it immediately. I would drink half or sometimes a full 2 liter. daily, i drink from 3-8 cans of soda/ It's not just one kind, It's Cherry Coke, Cherry Pepsi, Regular Pepsi, Dr. Pepper. when I go out to eat at a restaurant I will drink about 2-3 glasses of soda and then have 2 or 3 more at home. since i was 7 I realized I've had poor motor skills and can't mentally progress as fast as a lot of other people can, One cause I believe might be is because I get lack of sleep for years due to the soda, I really want to stop this addiction once and for all.

                                                          Sincerely,
                                                                          Eric Williamson

Eric, you have already done the hardest part of the work - you have determined the cause of your health concerns. Now, designing the solution is next. Remove ALL diet sweeteners, replace them with real food and drink, get to sleep earlier, exercise, and remain consistent in giving your body the nutrients that it needs to operate healthily. You can do this because THIS is what nature intended the human body to do - eat and drink real things. Get plenty of rest, take time to relax and take some quality vitamins to help your body heal faster.

I am proud of you for recognizing the root of your health concerns. Diet chemicals are NO food source. You used them when you were very young, so give your body some time to repair. Never use these toxins again.......

Re: HEAVILY addicted to Cherry sodas, Dr. Pepper. & Pepsi IN NEED OF HELP!

thank you so much Doc! I will give this a try. I know it is a problem because it has affected my life for so many years. I am only glad it is this and not alcohol like my dad used to drink. he was a big alcoholic, now hes been sober for almost 5 months now and he goes to AA now. I noticed I would drink a lot of soda because it bothered me seeing my dad drunk a lot of times. Now that he is better I need to better myself. My sister has also had a binge eating disorder and now its the 3rd day and she is strongly overcoming her disorder.
