i have to admit, this isn't a conversation i've been wanting to have. in fact, i've been putting it off for far too long. i always seem to find one excuse or another. & even though it's all i've thought about lately, even though i've played the scene over & over a thousand times in my head, even though i've planned out exactly what i've wanted to say... now that the moment is here, now that you & i are finally face-to-face, the words seem to escape me.
this definitely isn't an easy situation. but i have to admit, you were never right for me. i think, even in the very beginning, deep down, i knew that this would never really work. but, it was hard to ignore those sparks. even now, the sparks are still there. it's like i can hear them calling my name. & seeing you, just sitting there, looking soooo good, makes this even harder. i guess that's why they say "breaking up is hard to do."
i wish we could still be friends, but you & i both know that that never works out. no, no... it's not you, it's me. see, i'm just not that strong - occasional get-togethers, watching you with other people, all along pretending i'm no longer interested in you... yeah! i don't think that would last very long. pretty soon we'd be inseperable, once again. but i'm serious about it this time. that's why i think, no, i KNOW i need a completely clean break. you are just too much of an addiction for me to handle.
you've probably already noticed, but lately, i've been spending less & less time with you. slowly, but surely, i have been trying to ease you out of my daily life. &, i'm proud (although a little sad too) to admit, at this writing i have gone 1 week, 5 days, 12 hours & 37 minutes without you. honestly, you probably haven't even missed me, but i have missed you. & i will continue to miss you, every day of my life, because you will always have a piece of my heart. but this time, it really is goodbye. cherry coke, dr. pepper & regular coke, oh how i'll miss you, but really & truly, this has to be the end of our relationship, it's time to go our seperate ways. i just hope i have the strength to live without you... i'll definitely be in need of a re-bound relationship.

Have you considered Facebook as a rebound relationship?
We broke up a little over a year ago. It was tough, but I made it out alive and felt so much better.
A visit to the in laws last week resulted in a major cave in. The next day my stomach was so swollen I couldn't button my pants!
And just like that our love affair was over!
I SO hear you on this! I have the exact same addiction - and I've tried and tried and we just keep getting back together.
But a recurring theme keeps coming up everywhere I turn this week - things like quit making excuses, don't be afraid of discipline. Be accountable to yourself and nobody else. And now your break-up. Geez, I guess I'm slowly getting the message that it's time I do something about it. It's going to be hard - but I'm going to try this time, harder than ever - and maybe we can break it off, too.
how I wish I could break the bond between myself and my diet coke... but... I just can't - our relationship is much too strong! :(
OK, I had to come out of lurkdom on this one..Kelly, you just take yourself to the kitchen and wash your mouth out with soap--that is the dirtiest thing I have ever heard!! If you quit, there will be more cans on the store shelves and I will be forced to take them home with me. Don't do it!! Seriously, good luck, I made it 40 days at Lent without my bubbles, but I have never been so happy to see Easter come!
Good luck. Maybe seltzer can help you if you start serious withdrawl...
I need to break up with DC but I cant bring myself to do it...your giving me motivation!
CHerry Diet Coke is a good rebound soda.
I broke up with my Monster Energy drinks last week. I drank one before a run last Thursday and I felt awful. I decided that it was the last straw.
We broke up 1 year 1 month 2 weeks 3 days 6 hours ago. I must say I don't miss it now. It was hard at first, but I do feel much better. I quit caffeine and soda when I found out I was pregnant. After I had my baby, I decided to stick with it- Good luck letting go!
That was a cute post...I thought you were breaking up with blogging at first!!
Dieet Coke is my longest relationship. Are you giving IT up, too? No caffeine? Are you sure???
I am in the same situation right now, my diet pop was making me feel sick (I think it's the aspartame) and regular pop is just too many calories and sugar. I crave the sweet and the carbonation, but find I can make do drinking iced tea instead, and I drink alot more coffee now instead too. I'm not sure if this was a smart trade, but for now, if I have to go pop-less, I'll do what I have to! Good luck
You are stronger than I will ever be. I simply can't let my beverages go.
I completely feel your pain. I kicked the habit while I was pregnant (not very well though..I cheated quite frequently) but as soon as he was born I really kicked it. It has been 2 months and I still crave it constantly. I can't tell you how many times I have wanted to grab my husbands drink and take a sip. Good luck (and your Charlie would be perfect for my Hobie...I love babies who have those perfect kissable cheeks)
Oh kelly. I kicked this habit (actually all carbonation) on January 1st at midnight. Last month I still had withdrawals...But I am proud to say that 6 months later I don't crave it one bit! Water for me thanks!
broke up with all sorts of coke valentine's day of this year. my sub is poland springs flavored sparkling... but only occasionally. i thought i would feel much better, but i really don't... maybe all caffeine will be next. thanks for the post!
Hi Kelly,
I clicked on your blog from the create your own experience blog and I fell in love with it immediately. I think it is safe to say that you have gotten me through a horrible day at work today. Thank you for that!!
