Do I have an addiction?
I was just wondering if u think I may have an addiction to either fizzy drinks or caffeine? Or neither? Every day I NEED fizzy drinks. Whenever I’m thirsty, fizzy drinks are the only thing that quench my thirst. I dont need them in the mornings though, but I do have to start my day with tea or coffee and drink alot of tea and coffee through the day. But in the evenings I drink about 2 cans of coke or any other fizzy thats in the house and then have to have a beer/lager as its the only thing that will start quenching my thirst in the evening. I also get ‘Hangover’ type symptoms some mornings even wen I havent had any alcohol the night before. Could it be an addiction to caffeine?

light addiction to caffeine and sugar.
nothing a couple days of abstinence and a paracetamol in the morning can’t cure

no u think you just like soda. Try going for just one day without it and if you get moody or really upset then yes you may be addicted.

Yes…
I used to drink 2-3 litres of coke a day. Go cold turkey… It’s hard but effective.
And yeah, when I went cold turkey, on my first day I was literally shaky.

If you can understand that addiction is 99.9% ppsychological then your cured, i dont believe in addiction, when you say you NEED them what do you mean if you dont drink them you are physically going to slip into a coma and die? no. Just dont drink them, however uncomfortable it may be you’ll get used to it.
You could be diabetic though, a symptom is thirst.
