Yesterday was a rough day. I wonder if there's some substance in Diet Pepsi besides caffeine that makes me addicted to it?!? I really don't think it's the caffeine. No headaches yesterday, just a strong desire to drink Diet Pepsi!!!
you are much stronger than I am. The longest I can go without diet coke is a half day, tops. After that I turn a little bitchy. Okay, I turn a lot bitchy.
I had a friend do the master cleanser fast. She got really sick after a week. Like not able to get out of bed sick. Giving up diet coke for 4 hours is more than enough fasting for me.
I think it's the aspartame. I switched to Diet Coke with Splenda, and I found that I didn't crave it nearly as much. I stopped drinking anything with aspartame for a month or so, and now I can have an occasional DC without getting hooked again.

Believe me, I am starting to doubt the wisdom of this experiment.

Good luck! It's worth it to kick the habit.
