Heck the dang bottle would even go with me in the car.
Well I found that I could just as easily fill that bottle with water (remember you need 64 oz a day) or with decaf iced tea with splenda. I still had my 'bottle', but it was better for me. It wasn't so much that I needed the diet pepsi as it was I was so accustomed to having something to drink at hand all the time.

Good point there. That's sorta how I was finally able to quit smoking. Tried the patch, the gum, and then finally, tried the inhaler. THAT combined with my "Now I WANT to quit" instead of "I really SHOULD quit" attitude helped me stop smoking over 3 years ago. I found I needed something in my mouth! So, I just carried the holder (new age FDR!) in my mouth wherever I went. Even if it didn't have a nicotene cartridge with me. I was stunned at how "oral" I was..and to this day, THANKFUL that I found the inhaler!
(I won't mention that it was THEN I really started putting on the weight!
