I m addicted to carbonated drinks and it's beginning to sound weird and I can hardly do without taking like 3 a day in every meal I take.

It's like there's a force propelling me to always take carbonated drinks.

Pls how do I get rid of such unhealthy habits?

You need deliverance.

First, give your life to Christ.

Go to a ministry that can guide you through to your breakthrough.

Some deliverance comes easy. Others are a little tougher. But you can be delivered if you are willing to let Jesus into your life.

Anything can become an addiction.
There are good addictions, and there are bad addictions.
Good addictions may include being studious, being ready to work/help, being prayerful, worshipping and serving God, being charitable, etc.
We know the bad addictions already.

Your first victory over your addiction is realising its become a problem that if you do not kill now, will eventually kill you.
So congrats in advance over your final victory over it.

Cos this realisation alone is what makes you get desperate for help now.

Until you're desperate for help, you may not find it. And you may also find it difficult to muster the requisite commitment to win this battle.

Yes, it's a battle. A battle against something that has the capacity to kill you. (My apologies if that makes you uncomfortable but it's the truth.)

I had 2 female neighbours die recently, one from low blood sugar, the other from high blood sugar.
Ladies especially get addicted to carbonated drinks, specifically coke.
I won't say drinking coke is bad, but I believe there's an undisclosed element in coke that has been said to make it addictive.

What you need to do is allow your desperation drive you to turn to God for help.
Now there are several gods, I only know one true God who is able to save you completely and even bless you with Good addictions.

Every bad addiction is as a result of lack or loss of self control.
You can either lose control over your flesh or your spirit or your mind or your emotions. Either as a result of a spiritual attack or habits that have gotten out of hand.

I could attempt to suggest a couple of ways God has helped me and continues to help me overcome my addictions, but if I take away the God from it, I can assure you it won't have been possible.
One of the gifts he'll give you is Self Control.
Trust me as simple as this sounds, it's what you need.

I pray for you that you win this battle and receive Power from above in Jesus name. AMEN.

In Pete's Edochie's voice: Those that cannot resist sugary things must be friendly with herbal mixtures......Guy nothing do you, enjoy your life keep drinking it as long as your body can tolerate it, what you need to do is drink proper jedi twice a week and everything becomes balanced.

Another trick is to play mind games, for every bottle or can of soda that you drink, you must drink 1 gallon of water, if you can do this, you have mastered your anatomy, for most times craving for sugary drinks is just your body needing hydration. Hydrate with water and watch your cravings drastically reduce, in fact sprinkle lemon or lime in the water along with iced cubes, OLUWA O grin grin grin

Today alone I had the urge,but I substituted it with water,recite psalms 23 as backup
Lol...God is your strength baby geh... to make easier, buy pink Himalayan salt from the super market, a pinch of it in your water will kill any cravings, if you want to go extra fun add a squeeze of lemon. You'll no longer fancy carbonated drinks...to your health.

This one is not that bad. It’s better than drinking sugar. Some people say the carbon is not good but it’s not confirmed scientifically

In other to stop myself from drinking soda and all, I take it instead. I have tried squash, but I'm not too keen on it.

sugar can be quite addictive, just read about the various risks, it can potentiate, no one will tell you to stop gulping it excessively especially if you are older than 30, just replace the urge to take it, with water and enjoy, over time you will get used to having water . Water is life, have more of it daily.

I been think say my own bad grin
But it's like your own worse cheesy

I normally use a bottle of soda to have two or three different meals at home, each day, everyday ...even if na "swallow"

Mi'lady complained about it and even got me a carton of Grand Malt some weeks back; that that's what I should be consuming, instead of Soda drinks.

Ahnie
As a female
you should be getting a pack of Vitamilk
...instead of a pack of Coke

It's nothing to worry about, nne!

Na poverty and poor health facility dey worry us here in Nigeria

My American collegues both old and young drink Coke on each meal. They also take candy (sweet) too much too.

I used to drink like 4 coke a day, but thank God I have reduced it to one per day.

Are you okay?

Do you know how dangerous and injurious it is to her health?

Thank God you don buy new phone.
Atleast, no more blurry pictures.

As for your carbonated drinks intake, shebi when pancreas refuses to produce enough insulin and blood glucose level reads 200mg/dL, you go stop.(God forbid that for you)

Therr is a pain in your past that you are trying to soothe with sweet things. Go into yourself , unearth it and embrace it, feel it and let it fade away . The craving for sweet things will fade away as well.

Meanwhile diabetes is real and costly to treat.
Love yourself wisely.

What do you think about sparkling water? I think it's carbonated water, however I take them instead.

Sparkling water is okay. I don't know of any health problems associated with it.

That's not what causes diabetes but you'll do well to regulate the amount you ingest daily.
