Hi,
Im a 20 year old college students who has had severe binge drinking problems in the past. I have a history of alcoholism in my family and the substance has been plentiful in the atmosphere that i’ve grown up in. As expected, partying can be a product of the college experience and it seems to have hit me hard. For the past 2 years (since I was 18), I had been pounding anywhere from 40-85 beers a week. I know the severity of the situation and am lucky to have such a great support system of family members to rely on to help me quit. I have been sober for a week and a half but I still have an immense urge to consume alcohol. My fiance has been there to provide support and to help me through the withdrawal symptoms. I don’t want to be a full-blown alcoholic before I am of legal age to drink. I have and extremely addictive personality and have had trouble with substance abuse in the past. I was highy addicted to aderrol, vicoin, and oxycontin. But i quit using those drugs without rehab and I plan to become sober without rehab. My support system tells me that I need to find something to replace the alcohol that I can always reach for just like I always used to reach for a beer. I have found a subsitute for the beer and It is diet Dr. Pepper. In your opininon what do you think about my replcacement. Is diet Dr. Pepper bad for you. I drink diet Dr. Pepper quite frequently but not as frequent as I drank beer. Do you forsee any negative health effects from the use of diet Dr. Pepper. I usually consume anywhere from 48-64 oz of diet Dr. Pepper a day. Is that a safe amount? Any insight anyone can provide to my dilema would greatly be appreciated.
