I hear you @kaypost2! I had given up so many things I liked to eat (as I have some severe gut issues as well), but soda was my toughest - my addiction ran deep and I didn't even drink ones with sugar or caffeine 🙂 ! I'm embarrassed to say I would drink between 3 - 6 sodas a day!! It took me many months to completely get off it, but now it has been years since I've had even one, so it is doable. And my gut thanks me for it for sure.
