my 1am soda habit became a seltzer can graveyard

late-night gamer here. i used to crush 2-3 dr peppers during a long session, then wonder why i felt like garbage at 4am. i’m not gonna pretend the med fixed everything, but around week 6 i noticed i was reaching for the same can out of habit, taking two sips, and putting it back. so i started a stupid little experiment: every time i wanted soda, i poured a cold seltzer in a glass with a squeeze of lime. sounds fake but the glass thing matters. now there’s a weird graveyard of half-empty lime seltzers on my desk and one 12-pack of soda has lasted me almost a month. the bigger thing is i’m not white-knuckling it. i just... forget it’s there? anyone else accidentally quit a drink they used to go through constantly?
