Start drinking Coca-Cola, had it been you are America, I will say it is difficult, because Pepsi is American.

You need deliverance from the spirit of gluttony and addiction.
It is an arrow channel by your village people to invite diabetes into your life.
But you can say no!

Addiction to surgery soft drinks is sure slow death! Too much sugar is a slow killer!

If you can't stop all intake, try reducing to bearest minimum possible.

Try bitter leave.

Yoghurt is a very good way to combat that alcohol addiction

At least, Yoghurt has health benefits

I think it's just the taste, they don't just go well at all

Try take more of dates. It helps and it's a natural sweetener.

One strategy in curtailing it is to ensure that you don't buy it with your money. I now take carbonated drinks occasionally. Zobo all the way

self discipline is your problem, always buy bottle water to feel the gap instead of the pepsi, I do not know what you derive from those drinks. I take them once in a month except for malt

Drink lots of Water eat more fruits

I don't pray you get sick but near death experiences have a way of....

Mine na Coke

By replacing it with another addiction

Firstly go for fasting blood glucose and glucose A1C test.... It possible your body is deliberately asking for sugar.... Know how your body process those sugars and your current level.... That will motivate you to stop it if it high..... Secondly are you doing streneous job?... To stop it just switch to an alternative.... Like zobo... Look for people that make it (original) they make in litres... Get a sport bottle and carry around..... Your brain will adjust automatically

U can't, U are just like me,
U no even drink reach me,
just make sure U do a thirty minutes walk every morning and evening to burn down sugar,
I do at least 2hrs of walk every day but not at a time, download pedometer from Google store on Ur phone and see how much walking exercise U do every day

Sirmwill:
Just replace with a Healthy dopamine stimulating activity

Its mostly dopamine versus dopamine

There's an experiment in which someone with a smoking addiction went to see a Psychiatrist(it's not only for mad people) and he recommended that Everytime he smokes, he should drink a can of soda. The Smoking addict started doing that and after a while, the Psychiatrist told him that whenever he felt the urge to smoke, he should drink a can of soda. He drastically stopped smoking . He had made Drinking Soda a high dopamine activity as Smoking, so drinking soda stimulated the dopamine secretion his brain was used to. But, he later died of diabetes after many years because he replaced the smoking with an unhealthy activity.
That's why I am recommending a healthy dopamine activity like say, jogging.
Start jogging in the mornings while holding a bottle of Pepsi with you for a while. Drink from it at intervals during your jogging.
It ticks the healthy balance as jogging keeps you fit and healthy and helps in blood flow.
After a while, whenever you feel the urge to drink Pepsi, just jog a little, it should fix the cravings !
Or Exercising, Going to the gym, etc,... Healthy Activities

You forgot to add regular s*x. It is a form of sport, and it is fun and capable of making him stop the addiction.

Yes na...


You fit explain am on his behalf!

Simple. Go to the hospital and ask them at the internal medicine unit to give you the stats of those suffering from chronic high blood pressure, those who had suffered stroke and those whose legs have been amputated. Don't forget to also to branch at the endocrinology unit and ask them to release stats of those who had suffered same fate as above, due to diabetes caused by high sugar level in their blood.

After this visit, nobody will advise you on what to do to stop the addiction

Omor!
No be only you o. I am addicted to Pepsi like mad.
I always try to drink one bottle, at least, every other day.

Stephen0mozzy:
OP, it's simple.

How would you like your diabetes?
Because with that much sugar, you'll be eating zero sugars son and treating sores that'll never heal.

The urge needs a brain rewiring. You need to exchange the habit with an healthier alternative.

Try to cut it down to one bottle first - drink half half. Drink water more.

The day you drink more than one, force yourself to trek home. Try Zobo instead too - from reasonable makers, not the wereys who use artificial sweeteners.

It's best to transition to drinking water.

Zobo and the tiger nut drinks they sell nowadays still has those synthetic sweeteners added.

You made sense. I prefer water and at least red wine .. Other than that count me out

Just wait till you have diabetes

It'll spike the sugar levels of his body.

Or you think there's any good thing used to make those sweet drinks?

The Cola is the original recipe is no longer used. The OP is merely addicted to sugar and at best caffeine or both.

GO TO THE HOSPITALS AND SEE DIABETIC PATIENTS WITH THEIR LEGS AMPUTATED AND SOME HAVE GONE BLIND AS A RESULT OF EXCESS SUGAR IN THEIR BLOOD. IF THAT DOESNT MOTIVATE YOU TO STOP, THEN NOTHING WILL.

It's either you :

Try to declare fasting for 3 days...

Go to MFM for deliverance from ADDICTION /cravings

Or worst case scenario, imagine that a doctor gave you a medical report of DIABETES OR KIDNEY or LIVER FAILURE. THE PEPSI WILL LOOK LIKE POISON TO YOU!

All the best

Hmn! Me too.

When I was in school, I took 8 to 12 bottles a day. Those were the days of solo Coke. I reduced it after I graduated. Then they brought that big Pepsi bottle. I will buy 2 bottles at once. It made me obese and I got tired easily, I couldn't walk a short distance and it got worse during the COVID-19 pandemic. My husband didn't allow me to go out or engage in any activity. He said he didn't want me to get the virus so I was imprisoned at home. He did everything at the time. I became double my size and felt pains in my bones. I am not diabetic yet, that's surprising. After the pandemic, I worked on myself and lost some weight.

Now, I'm back to the drinks, it's a strong addiction to overcome but I will try the 90-day challenge as advised by someone here.

When diabetes come you go get sense.

Whenever you are feeling the urge to take Pepsi Drink water first
You can start by not taking it for a week then gradually move to a month then a year

First of all you need to understand why you are addicted to this kind of drinks some of these drinks is manufactured and contain caffeine and other substances so what you need to do is to look for other alternative such as zobo drinks also your drinks so by doing so this we help you to replace the addiction or to control the addiction of you taking such a drinks so it will be difficult for a body to adjust without finding another alternative things to replace it I am using my voice typing don't mind my text but I believe you could have gotten the message thanks
