Hello...my name is Bridget and I have a Diet Coke habit. It's bad...really bad. Even my kids joke about it. In the movie, "Meet the Robinsons", I could play the lady with the caffeine patches. Sure, I can hide behind the fact that I started drinking Diet Coke to battle chronic headaches after Botox injections and medication didn't help. But I can't hide from the fact that I am an addict and now that I have embraced my shortcoming, it's time to get rid of it. It's time to say goodbye to my old friend...starting tomorrow, I'm quitting COLD TURKEY!

I want to apologize in advance to my children, husband, neighbors, friends, fellow drivers, the checkout lady at the grocery store...the general population of the Treasure Valley if I am rude, short, or in any way mean to you. It's withdrawal...it's horrible. But when it's over, I'll be free from my addiction and continuing on my way to a happier, healthier me.

Goodbye old friend...I won't miss you (after a few days, of course). ~ B

PS -- This picture is literally the LAST Diet Coke in the house.
