No more Pepsi

I am a Pepsi survivor.

I know this sounds funny, but I am three weeks clean. I have not had a Pepsi in three weeks and 1 day. Its not just Pepsi, but any soda in fact.

This may not sound like a big deal, but it is. I grew up with Pepsi. There was Pepsi readily available to me as a child. There is one picture of me in high school, study hall, were I have a Pepsi in front of me and I am eating a Reeses peanut butter cup. My two favorites. At my grandmother's home, Pepsi was the chosen drink. She would have bottles of it, stacked and readily available, and consumed.

I cannot recall a single day in which I did not have a soda, until these past three weeks. I am consciously making the choice to not drink or buy one. It feels great to know, that to this point, I have conquered my addiction. However, I also know that if I drink one, I may not stop. I want to be healthier. This is a huge step.
