I have given up smoking 6 months ago , but ...

[Gawdzilla Sama]

I was a heavy tea drinker until diabetes hit me ,
I used to drink tea at least 4 times a day
Otherwise i would have drink tea instead of chewing a sugar free nicotine gums .

Like someone said , everyone deals with it differently

Thanks for all the responses in my thread

You can still drink tea, just sweeten with a substitute. Stevia isn't too bad but that taste really bums some people out.

I use sucralose (Splenda) and have never been able to detect a difference between that and cane sugar, except that you can't over-sweeten with Splenda.
