Any alternatives?
| Wed, 09-06-2006 - 11:05pm |
I paid the price tonight for a once in a while splurge. I love Coke, bu haven't really had it for several years since caffeine messes me all up. Well tonight i thought i would treat myself, since im still on track with my diet and am doing well. well, about an hour later, here i sitting with my foot bouncing compulsively, feel nervous, shaky, stomach upset, a quickened heartbeat, and the horrible thing that something bad is going to happen. I love Coke, Dr. Pepper, etc. Are there any alternatives for these drinks sans the caffeine? and if so, do they taste good and not have that weird aftertaste?

actually since i've had to stop with caffeine i've become a fiend for Sierra Mist and Root Beer; but every once in a while i still gotta have my Coke, even if its just teeny bit. DH says he is going to look for a drink that his mom used to get that was like Coke without any caffeine and still tastes pretty great. Thanks for everything guys, if he finds out what he's talking about i'll let everyone know, lol.
have a great day,

I *love* coffee but of course caffeine = anxiety for most of us!
I drink coffee w/ half caffeine and that's worked for me. But when I crave a hot drink later in the day I've started drinking decaffeinated tea. Usually an herbal kind. It's not really like cola so that might not be helpful for you but it does seem to be calming for me.
Just an idea!
I LOVE Dr. Pepper & bought a 2 liter bottle of caffeine-free, diet Dr. Pepper at the supermarket last week.
