Hi, My name is Leah and I'm an addict {part four}

Dr Pepper Addiction: under control! 
About a month ago, I went off cold turkey.  The first THREE days were a total nightmare. I was cranky, mean and irritable.  The headaches were relentless and I just wanted to sleep.
Day four, something miraculous happened.  I didn't feel like I needed it.  I didn't even feel like I wanted it. Day Five, we went to Red Robin.  Luke and I were talking about how in reality it's okay to have a Dr Pepper every now and then- just not 5 a day.  So, I ordered one.  And it was super sweet!  
This past week, I have caught myself many times wanting to enjoy more than I should.  I typically allow myself 1 a day.  But may need to cut back to just the weekends.  It's refreshing after a long day or a stressful one - but there is a very thin line between enjoying one and relying on one.  That's the line I am trying to find now.
