drink less Mountain Dew

I quit my 2-5 can-a-day Mt. Dew for about 4 months until I relapsed. I did it when my third daughter was born and I took a break from a lot of the freelance work I do. But once I had to get back to work, I kept falling asleep at my computer at night cause I didn’t have the energy to stay awake, so I turned back to the juice. It really is a vicious cycle, once you rely on it to stay awake then it makes you more tired and you need caffine just to function. Now I back staying up until 2-3 am about 3 times a week and crashing 1 or 2 other nights. Don’t know when I quit drinking the stuff – maybe I should just use caffine pills and stay away from the sugar. Anyone tried that?

I’m addicted!!! I cant go one day without it or i get a pounding headache and i get really mean. I have to at least try to cut down.

I HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM MT DEW TO ME IS LIKE CRACK TO CRACKHEADS. I STABBED MY BF IN THE ARM ONE TIME BECAUSE I COULDNT GET ANY. I GET HEAD ACHES AND SHAKY AND REALLY ILL.I DONT GET OUT OF BED. I WILL GO WITHOUT FOOD FOR MT DEW. I DONT THINK I AM GOING TO BE ABLE TO STOP THIS ON MY OWN.ANY ONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS. I CANT DEAL WITH THE WITHDRAWAL

I GUESS I REALLY HAVE A PROBLEM BECAUSE I DRINK ABOUT 12 20 OZ BOTTLES A DAY OF DEW. THAT IS ABOUT 84 IN 7 DAYS. I NEVER THOUGHT OF THE AMOUNT I WAS INTAKING UNTIL I FOUND THIS SITE. IMAGIN THE MONEY I WASTE. PEPSI HAS MADE A FORTUNE FROM ME. I’VE BEEN FEELING SICK LATELY. STOMACH ACHE, BACK PAIN, MIGRAIN HEADACHES. I BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE DEWS I DRINK. CANT STAY AWAY FROM THEM THOUGH. THE ONLY TIME I STOPPED DRINKING THEM COMPLETLY IN THE LAST 10 YEARS IS WHEN I WAS PREGNANT. THAT IS ONLY BECAUSE I FELT DEHYDRATED AND CRAVED WATER. SO THAT IS 9 MONTHS OUT OF 10 YEARS. IF I COULD DO IT THEN I CAN DO IT KNOW. THIS IS MY NEW GOAL FOR NEW YEARS. GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL.

I have a serious problem with mountain dew, mainly livewire. I can’t stop drinking it! The caffeine gives me a short burst of energy when I wake up in the morning or am simply just trying to stay awake for classes, but I heard that caffeine in the long run drains your energy and is causing the tiredness in the first place. I get lots of sleep – I slept for almost 10 hours last night and I still woke up feeling like I only got 3. I was going to grab a dew, but I restrained myself this morning. I usually drink 2-3 cans/bottles a day, but I need to stop that. Despite what the doctors say, I think mountain dew is contributing to my getting-out-of-control acne problem as well. I’m going to attempt to really cut back – start drinking tea and a lot more water instead.

I literraly go through a case of mt dew weekly. I’m drinking 4 maybe 5 cans a day. Someone help!!

Hey Ya’ll. I have an addiction to Mountain Dew. I am 14 years old and drink more drinks than my 47 year old mom. My goal is to take things slowly….or atleast try to. I plan on starting out drinking one bottle of water a day, and Gatorade instead of Mtn. Dew…..Please Help Me!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need Support! Thanks!

This is getting harder and harder. I actually layed off the mountain dew and was drinking only 1 a day. My body was actually getting use to it. I wasn’t having headaches and I wasn’t tired. What is my problem then? I can’t find a drink that suits me. Mountain Dew is literally the only drink I LIKE. I tried everything else – it all taste terrible. I’m sure that’s because I’m so use to the taste of Mountain Dew. sigh

sweet nectar of the gods. i am so addicted. it’s a sickness.

i havent even thought of this idea until i came here. i’ve had people tell me they dont drink soda, and thought i wish i could do it, but it seems i cant go a day without the caffeine. i love mountain dew and coke. if i havent drank it by like 5:00 at night, i start getting headaches and feel so exhausted. then i drink some and i get like a second swing. this could be a really good idea for the new year. i think, i’ll try to cut back. im not gonna start out with none of it all together, because that might be just to hard. but i think i will definatly try to cut back.
