I definitely have a bit of a caffeine addiction fueled by Dr Pepper

This last cycle I had an anxiety attack during work and called my mom. She said I should drink a soda, that I needed some unhealthy sugar in my system 😆 word for word, so it's not the healthiest admittedly, but drinking something sweet is refreshing for me and something to look forward to even a week before the cycle begins.

They definitely calm me down, I have a lot of sensory issues and the carbonation is a good sensation so it is a win
I always drink pop. Mainly root beer and I do think its a coping mechanism
I'm not addicted to soda itself but I'm super addicted to caffeine which is really frustrating, I know it's not necessarily the worst of addictions but it's still an addiction and it sucks having a can of liquid control your life/ your mood. Have you tried flavored sparkling water? I'm not a fan of sparkling water because it tastes weird, but I am a huge fan of the "Clear American" brand that you kind find at Walmart. They have different flavors and it dosent taste like water whatsoever, I'd definitely recommend that to wean a little off of Soda :)
I do, I think I'm addicted to soda, coke cola, or Pepsi. I have to drink one in every meal which is becoming very bad for my health, especially my weight but it does feel good to drink coke cola after work. So, yeah I'm right there with you.
Sure I drink Fanta or water to calm me down. It helps with blood sugar and anxiety problems for me. I avoid caffeine normally. Like I only have like Dr. Pepper small and like a small Frappe Mocha wasn't too bad the other day when I was closing.
