Things you are addicted to.

Sugar (I need to eat small doses throughout the day or I get ill)

Uhhh that probably isn't an addiction. You should get some blood work done.

It's not the caffeine that I miss (I can get that from tea), it's the bubbles. I love that stuffed feeling and the burping I get for a few minutes afterwards.

Maybe try seltzer water instead? I think they're a healthier choice than soda.

Heh, you are correct there. I am hypoglycemic. However, if I were not addicted to it I would not weigh 208 pounds. I only need a couple of teaspoons a day in addition to my food to keep going.

I'm not supposed to consume a lot of carbonated drinks because apparently it impairs running endurance. Or so says my mom, who used to run cross-country. Seltzer water is flavorless, so when I do have a soda it's usually a normal diet one.

The "soda is bad for runners" thing has been around for ages.

I've never seen I study done on the subject, so I highly doubt the claim.
